aftermarket starters
Talk to me about aftermarket starters. Where do you buy from, is there a "brand" you use? I've got a Kawasaki Mule with over 1900 hours. It gets cranked frequently---more in a month than a lawnmower will in a couple years. I put the 4th starter (in its 16 years) on it this summer. The original starter was a Denso (I think). It croaked after 3-4 years. At the time I could get one from DB Electrical for about 1/4-1/3 of what Kawasaki wanted. I don't remember where the one I got this summer came from, I think it was DB but need to call and verify. Anyway it is suddenly turning over real slow and has a horrible electrical burning smell. Getting tired of the reliability of the import starters, then again not that impressed with how long the original lasted either. If I could find a "factory rebuilt" Denso for a reasonable price, I might be willing to give it a try. The only other import starter I have used is one I put on my 2284--it replaced a melted down Denso as well (at 500 hours). Had to replace a Denso on a car once as well, at 70-80K miles. I'm not that impressed with Denso--dang sure ain't no old school Delco in my opinion.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
