Cummins 5346195 is the 24 V starter: a silver flange mounted body with a black field frame, a 24 V solenoid and a separate start relay. It is used on Cummins 6CT8.3 and 6L 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.
The same part is also sold as Cummins 3976618.
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 fit my Cummins 6L?
Yes, it was made for the Cummins 6L, and 2 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old starter motor is marked 5346195 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the starter motor on my Cummins 6L?
On the Cummins 6L, 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 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.
Should I check the ring gear?
Yes. Look at the flywheel teeth through the starter opening. Chewed teeth will damage the new pinion.
Is this a genuine Cummins 5346195?
No. It is an aftermarket starter motor made to replace the Cummins 5346195. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
