Common Use Case or Symptoms:

Use when the engine cranks slowly, the starter drags or clicks without engaging, or the drive gear is chewed — a weak starter on a 648G in the woods is a machine that stays where it sits.

Why Choose Broken Tractor:

• ✅ New Unit, Not a Rebuild: This ships as a new starter rather than a remanufactured core, so there is no core charge and no return shipment to arrange.
• ✅ Tooth Count and Rotation Published: 10 tooth, clockwise, 12V at 4.0kW — the four numbers you need to confirm against the starter on your machine.
• ✅ Fourteen Cross Numbers Covered: Deere, Nippondenso, AEP, DB Electrical and Dixie numbers all land here, which matters on a skidder that has been through several owners.
