Kubota 15425-63016 is the gear reduction starter motor: the aluminium nose housing with its two hole flange and 10 tooth pinion, the silver motor can with through bolts and the solenoid with its rubber terminal boot. It is used on Thomas skid steer loaders with the Kubota V2203. 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 Kubota 15425-63016?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the Kubota 15425-63016 with the same fitting.
How often should I replace the Kubota 15425-63016?
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.
What should I disconnect first?
Disconnect the battery earth before removing the old unit. The main cable is live at full battery current.
Is this a genuine Kubota 15425-63016?
No. It is an aftermarket starter motor made to replace the Kubota 15425-63016. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
