Key Notes:

• Part Number: 385-5044
• Interchange Number: 377-6967
• Voltage: 12V
• Type: Direct drive
• Weight: 15 lbs (6 kg)
• Application: Electric starting motor — cranks the engine during starting on applicable Cat D-series skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, and mini hydraulic excavators
• Condition: Aftermarket replacement part

Common Use Case or Symptoms: Use when the engine will not crank when the ignition switch is turned to start, the starter produces a clicking sound but no cranking, the starter drags slowly under load, or the solenoid engages but the motor does not rotate — a failed starter motor prevents engine starting on applicable Cat skid steer, CTL, and mini excavator equipment.
