Q 2. Which machines and engines is this starter motor compatible with?

Use the selection widget to match your exact make, model and engine variant, or search by OE number. Every fitment shown is backed by our Fit Guarantee.

Q 3. Will this starter motor fit a Yanmar diesel engine?

A. The WAI 18491N is cross-referenced to Yanmar OE numbers 129900-77010, 129900-77040, 12990077010 and 12990077040, and the fitment data includes the Yanmar 4TNE94 engine application. To confirm whether it suits your specific Yanmar model or variant, search our catalogue by the Yanmar OE number from your existing unit, or use the selection widget. If your engine is not listed, ask Simon.

Q 4. What are the key technical specifications of the WAI 18491N?

A. It is a 12V starter motor rated at 2.3kW, built to the Hitachi OSGR (Off-Set Gear Reduction) design with a 9-tooth pinion and clockwise rotation. It is supplied brand new.

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

A. OSGR stands for Off-Set Gear Reduction. In this design, a reduction gear train is positioned off-axis from the main armature shaft, which reduces the motor's current draw during cranking and improves torque delivery — particularly useful during cold starts on diesel plant and construction machinery. The WAI 18491N uses the Hitachi OSGR configuration as original equipment.

Q 6. 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 7. 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.
