Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, check the part number MS25 against your existing starter and compare the physical details: 12V, 10 teeth, clockwise rotation, 3.0kW output, 3 hole mounting, 146mm and 103mm mount centres, and a 92mm flange diameter. Those are the practical identifiers that matter when matching a starter motor to an existing application.

The reduction gear design and 21mm pinion at rest are important fitment points, especially where clearance and engagement depth need to line up with the flywheel and housing. The listed 40mm pinion diameter, 11mm mount hole diameter, and 315mm overall length should also be checked against the unit being replaced.

Although the application list includes multiple CASE IH, Ford, and New Holland references, the safest approach is to confirm against the existing starter details rather than relying on make alone. Tractor and equipment variations can share model names but use different starter configurations, so the measured dimensions and mount style need to match.

If your current starter is a dry clutch unit and the replacement needs to match the same configuration, compare that detail carefully. The listing identifies this starter as a new Mahle unit, so it is suited to buyers who want a replacement with known part identification and a fresh service life rather than a remanufactured 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 MS25 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.

Mahle Starter Motor 12V 10Th CW. Part number MS25 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 MS25, 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.

Available application references include CASE IH MAXXUM, CASE IH MAXXUM 2002, CASE IH MAXXUM 2003, CASE IH MAXXUM 2004, FORD 4000-SERIES, FORD 4000-SERIES 1990. 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: Confirm compatibility using Mahle part number MS25 and the listed application details, then verify voltage, rotation, tooth count, mount centres, flange diameter, and overall length against the starter being removed.
