Q 1. What machines does the WAI 18205N fit?

A. This starter motor fits 10 verified applications across Yanmar and Takeuchi machinery. Yanmar models include the 3T84C, 3T90L, 4T95, TC3000, YM1700, YM2000 and YM2210, among others — 9 Yanmar applications in total. The Takeuchi TB025 mini-excavator (1997–2003) is also covered. Use the selection widget to match your exact make, model and engine variant, or search our cross-referenced catalogue by machine model or OEM number. Every fitment shown is backed by our Fit Guarantee.

Q 2. Which Hitachi part numbers does this replace?

A. The WAI 18205N cross-references 53 OE numbers in total. Hitachi references on file include S114-146, S114-244, S114-244A, S114-257, S114-257G, S114-483, S114-483A, S114146, S114146GR, S114206, S114244, S114244A, S114257, S114257B, S114257G, S114483, S114483A, S12-77, S12-77A, S1247, S1275, S1277, S1277A and S1279, among others. There is also a Delco Remy reference: DRS3247. Search our catalogue by any of these numbers to confirm the match for your machine.

Q 3. Does this replace the Delco Remy DRS3247?

A. Yes. Delco Remy DRS3247 is one of the 53 OE cross-references held for the WAI 18205N. If your original unit carries that number, this starter motor is the corresponding replacement. You can also search our cross-referenced catalogue by that number to verify the application.

Q 4. What are the key specifications of this starter motor?

A. The WAI 18205N is a 12V, 1.4kW unit built to the Hitachi OSGR (Offset Gear Reduction) design. It runs clockwise rotation and carries a 15-tooth pinion. It is supplied brand new — not remanufactured.

Q 5. What does OSGR mean and why does it matter?

A. OSGR stands for Offset Gear Reduction. In this design, the reduction gear set is positioned away from the armature centreline, which improves torque transfer to the pinion and reduces stress on internal components during high-cycle diesel cranking. It is the original design specification for the Hitachi units this starter replaces.

Q 6. Is this a new part or a remanufactured unit?

A. The WAI 18205N is supplied brand new. It is not a remanufactured or reconditioned unit, so there is no concern about unknown prior wear or previous repair history.

Q 7. Will this starter motor fit a Yanmar diesel engine?

A. The WAI 18205N is confirmed to fit 9 Yanmar applications, covering models including the 3T84C, 3T90L, 4T95, TC3000, YM1700, YM2000 and YM2210. To confirm whether it fits your specific Yanmar engine variant, use the selection widget or search our cross-referenced catalogue by model or OEM number — and ask Simon if your model is not listed.

Q 8. How do I confirm this part fits my vehicle or machine?

A. Use the selection widget to match your make, model and engine, or search our cross-referenced catalogue by OEM number, machine model or equivalent part across brands. If your vehicle is not listed, ask Simon. Every fitment shown is backed by our Fit Guarantee.

Q 9. 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.
