OEX Starter Motor 12V 16 Tooth CCW United Technologies Style SMX022

The OEX SMX022 is a 12V starter motor in United Technologies style, configured with 16 teeth and CCW rotation. It is a new starter motor sold each, with a 2 hole starter mount, 65mm mount centres, and a 77mm flange diameter.

Key dimensions include an overall length of 166mm, a 41mm pinion diameter, and a 15mm pinion at rest. The unit weighs 2.6kg and carries a 0.2kW power rating, which makes the listed specification set useful when comparing against the original starter or a replacement already fitted.

This starter motor is listed for dry clutch applications and is identified as part number SMX022. Fitment references include Ditch Witch C16X, John Deere LT166, LT170, LTR166 and SST16, plus Kanga KK216V and TK216V, so matching the application details and part number remains important before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the starter’s key dimensions and layout with the unit being replaced. The important checkpoints here are 12V, 16 teeth, CCW rotation, 2 hole mount, 65mm mount centres, 77mm flange diameter, 166mm overall length, and 41mm pinion diameter. Those details need to line up with the vehicle or machine already fitted.

The part number SMX022 is the most reliable reference when you are matching against an existing starter. If the machine is listed in the fitment references, it still pays to confirm the application detail, because starter motors can differ by build, revision, or prior replacement history even within the same machine family.

This starter is noted as United Technologies style and suited to a dry clutch application. If the machine has been altered, repaired, or fitted with a non-original starter in the past, compare the mounting face, pinion position at rest, and overall length before you order. Those checks help avoid a mismatch that only becomes obvious once the unit is on the bench.

The OEX unit is new and backed by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty. That warranty is useful for peace of mind, but it does not replace fitment checking. The safest approach is to verify the part number, rotation, tooth count, mount type, and the listed dimensions against the old starter or the machine specification.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number SMX022 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 16Th CCW United Tech Style. Part number SMX022 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number SMX022, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a starter motor in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.

Compatibility note: Please confirm fitment using part number SMX022, the listed 12V 16 tooth CCW specification, and the application details for your machine before purchase. If the existing starter differs in mount style, dimensions, or rotation, do not rely on model name alone.
