Q 1. Does this starter motor replace Hitachi reference PP106?

A. Yes. The WAI 18492N is a direct replacement for Hitachi original-equipment reference PP106. It matches the Hitachi OSGR design, 12V rating, 1.4kW output, clockwise rotation and 9-tooth pinion of the original unit. To confirm suitability for your machine, use the selection widget or search our cross-referenced catalogue by OEM number or machine model — every fitment shown is backed by our Fit Guarantee.

Q 2. Will this replace Remy starter motor references 25001 or 25002?

A. Yes. The WAI 18492N cross-references to Remy 25001 and Remy 25002, making it a compatible replacement for either of those Remy references. Use the selection widget or search by OEM number to verify the correct fit for your application, and our Fit Guarantee covers every cross-reference shown.

Q 3. What are the key technical specifications of the WAI 18492N?

A. The WAI 18492N is a 12V, 1.4kW starter motor of Hitachi OSGR (offset gear reduction) design. It runs clockwise rotation with a 9-tooth drive pinion and is supplied brand new — not remanufactured.

Q 4. What does OSGR mean and why does it matter when replacing a starter motor?

A. OSGR stands for Offset Gear Reduction. This design uses an internal reduction gear set to multiply torque at the pinion without increasing the motor's physical size, producing strong cranking force from a compact unit. When replacing a starter motor, matching the OSGR design is important because the mounting, pinion engagement geometry and electrical characteristics differ from conventional direct-drive or planetary-gear units. The WAI 18492N matches the original Hitachi OSGR specification.

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

A. It is brand new. The WAI 18492N is supplied as a new unit with no previous service history, meeting the original Hitachi dimensional and electrical tolerances.

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.
