Q 1. What does the WAI 10873N replace, and which OE numbers does it cross-reference?

A. The WAI 10873N replaces original-equipment starter motors from Denso, Perkins, and Caterpillar. OE references on this part include Denso 228000-7530, Denso 2280007530, Perkins U5MK8260, Caterpillar 0R9703, Caterpillar 1449966, and CAT 144-9966 — 6 references in total. To confirm fitment by OE number, search our cross-referenced catalogue or ask Simon.

Q 2. Which Caterpillar machines does this starter motor fit?

A. This starter motor fits 3 Caterpillar Ag. & Ind. applications, including the 302.5 Mini Excavator, 303.5 Mini Excavator, and 304.5 Mini Excavator (1999–2004). Use the selection widget to match your exact machine model and confirm fitment, or ask Simon if your machine is not listed. Fitment is backed by our Fit Guarantee.

Q 3. Does this replace the Denso 228000-7530 starter?

A. Yes. Denso 228000-7530 (also listed as 2280007530) is a direct cross-reference on this part. The WAI 10873N is built to the same Denso OSGR design, 12V, 2.0kW, clockwise rotation, 11-tooth pinion.

Q 4. Does this starter motor replace Perkins reference U5MK8260?

A. Yes. Perkins U5MK8260 is one of the 6 OE cross-references confirmed for the WAI 10873N. If you are sourcing a replacement against a Perkins part number, this unit is the cross-referenced match.

Q 5. Is this a brand-new or remanufactured starter motor?

A. The WAI 10873N is supplied brand new — not remanufactured. It is built to the original Denso OSGR specification: 12V, 2.0kW, clockwise rotation, 11-tooth pinion.

Q 6. What is the OSGR design, and why does it matter for this application?

A. OSGR stands for Over-running Clutch Gear Reduction. This design uses a gear reduction stage to produce higher cranking torque from a compact motor, making it well suited to the small-displacement engines in Caterpillar mini excavators. The WAI 10873N replicates the original Denso OSGR architecture.

Q 7. What are the key electrical and mechanical specifications of this starter motor?

A. Voltage: 12V; Power: 2.0kW; Design: OSGR; Rotation: Clockwise; Teeth: 11; Manufacturer design: Denso. Full details are in the specification table on this listing.

Q 8. Is this part covered by your Fit Guarantee?

A. Yes. Every vehicle and OE cross-reference shown for this part is checked against manufacturer data and backed by our Fit Guarantee. If it is not right, our Fit Guarantee or hassle-free returns have you covered.

Q 9. Can I ask questions about this product before ordering?

A. Yes — ask Simon, or WhatsApp our team on 07754 288583 with any questions about specifications, suitability, or compatibility.
