Use the selection widget to match your exact unit, or search our cross-referenced catalogue by model — every fitment is backed by our Fit Guarantee.

Q 2. Does this starter motor replace the Hitachi S13207 or S13-207A?

A. Yes. The WAI 18490N carries 6 Hitachi OE references, including Hitachi S13-207A, Hitachi S13-207C, Hitachi S13207, Hitachi S13207A, Hitachi S13207B and Hitachi S13207C. It is a direct brand-new replacement for the original Hitachi OSGR unit.

Q 3. Does it cross-reference to Bosch, Yanmar or Remy part numbers?

A. Yes. Beyond the Hitachi references, the 18490N is cross-referenced to Bosch USA SR5062X, Yanmar 126486-77010, Yanmar 126486-77011, Yanmar 129486-77011 and Remy 93591, among a total of 28 verified OE references. If you are searching by one of these numbers, this is the confirmed replacement. Search our catalogue by OEM number to verify your specific application.

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

A. The WAI 18490N is a 12V, 2.0kW starter motor of OSGR (Off-Set Gear Reduction) design with clockwise rotation and a 9-tooth pinion. It is supplied brand new and built to Hitachi specification. Full figures are in the specification table on this listing.

Q 5. What does OSGR mean and why does it matter for my Thermo King unit?

A. OSGR stands for Off-Set Gear Reduction. The reduction gear is positioned offset from the armature axis, keeping the motor compact while delivering high cranking torque at lower current draw. This design matches the original Hitachi starter fitted to these Thermo King and Carrier Transicold refrigeration engines and ensures correct physical and electrical fitment.

A. Yes. The 18490N is cross-referenced to multiple Thermo King and Thermoking-format references held in our catalogue, including THERMO KING 451688, THERMO KING 452323, THERMO KING 10451688 and others, as well as Carrier references 20-45-1688 and 20451688 — 28 OE references in total. Search by any of these numbers to confirm fitment.
