OEX Starter Motor 24V 11 Tooth CCW Delco 42MT Style DXS9168

The OEX DXS9168 is a new 24V starter motor in 42MT style with an 11 tooth pinion, counter-clockwise rotation and a 7.8kW power rating. It is listed as a Delco suitment unit and uses a 3 hole starter mount with 126mm mount centres.

Key dimensions include a 92mm flange diameter, 16mm mount hole diameter, and 56mm pinion diameter. The pinion at rest is 48mm, and the unit weighs 26.6kg, so it is important to check the mounting space and original starter layout before ordering.

This starter is noted as suitable for wet or dry clutch applications and is covered by a 3 year passenger / 1 year commercial warranty. A 12 tooth option is also referenced under DRX14483, which is to be installed by a qualified fitter.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the original starter is a 24V Delco-type unit with 42MT style mounting, 3 hole fixings and 126mm mount centres. The part number DXS9168 is the safest reference point when comparing against the vehicle and the removed starter.

The 11 tooth pinion, 56mm pinion diameter and CCW rotation must match the existing application. If the vehicle requires the 12 tooth option, the listed alternative is DRX14483 and it is noted that this version should be installed by a qualified fitter.

The starter is specified at 7.8kW and weighs 26.6kg, which makes physical clearance, cable reach and mounting alignment worth checking during replacement. The 92mm flange diameter and 16mm mount hole diameter are practical points to verify against the old unit.

Because starter motors can look similar while differing in tooth count, rotation and mount pattern, it is best to compare the removed unit directly with the listed dimensions. The wet or dry clutch note gives additional application guidance, but it does not replace a part-number check.

Warranty cover is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That does not change the need to confirm the correct match first; it simply sets the cover terms for the supplied OEX unit.

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 DXS9168 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.

For part number DXS9168, 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 24 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment using part number DXS9168, 24V specification, 42MT style, 11 tooth CCW configuration and the vehicle application details before purchase.
