Cummins 5340908 is the starter motor with a mounted solenoid, a flanged drive end housing that encloses the pinion and a through bolted motor body. It is used on Cummins 4BT and 6BT engines. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Will it replace my Cummins 5340908?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the Cummins 5340908 with the same fitting.
How often should I replace the Cummins 5340908?
Typically 5,000 to 10,000 hours, depending on how often the machine is started and how well the batteries are kept.
What are the signs the starter motor needs replacing?
Clicking with a good battery, slow cranking, grinding as it engages, or the starter staying engaged after the engine fires.
What should I disconnect first?
Disconnect the battery earth before removing the old unit. The main cable is live at full battery current.
What should I check before fitting it?
Battery voltage under load, the earth strap and the main cable. A weak supply makes a good starter motor look faulty and will burn out the new one.
Is this a genuine Cummins 5340908?
No. It is an aftermarket starter motor made to replace the Cummins 5340908. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
