Denso Starter Motor 12V 11 Tooth CW DXS617

This Denso starter motor is a 12V unit with 11 teeth, clockwise rotation, and part number DXS617. It is listed as a new starter motor for dry clutch applications, with an OEM number of AT195414 and a 12 month warranty.

Key physical details matter with starters, and this unit gives you several to check before ordering: 127mm mount centres A, 90mm mount centres B and C, 89mm flange diameter, 12mm mount hole diameter, and a 40mm pinion diameter. The starter mount type is 3 hole, so matching the mounting pattern is just as important as matching voltage.

This part is described as being designed in fit and performance to meet OE starters, with premium starting performance and construction intended to withstand harsh environments. If you are replacing a failed starter, confirming the part number, rotation, tooth count, and mounting dimensions will help avoid delays and returns.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, check the starter number DXS617 against the old unit and compare the listed OEM number AT195414 if your original part carries that reference. Starter motors can look similar while differing in tooth count, rotation direction, or mounting dimensions, so the 11 tooth CW configuration should be matched carefully.

The mounting dimensions are important on this unit. The starter uses a 3 hole mount with 127mm mount centres A, 90mm mount centres B and C, an 89mm flange diameter, and 12mm mount holes. If any of those measurements differ from the removed starter, it is worth stopping and verifying the application rather than forcing a fit.

This starter is a 12V Denso unit for dry clutch use, so the electrical system and installation setup need to align with those details. The 40mm pinion diameter and 48mm pinion at rest are also useful checks when comparing against the old starter, especially where access is limited and the best comparison is made side by side.

Application data is provided for a range of John Deere machines, including 540G II, 540G III, 548G III, 640G III, 640H, 648G, 648H, 748H and 848H. Even so, the safest approach is to verify the part number, rotation, tooth count, and mounting measurements against the machine already fitted with the starter, because variations can occur within the same model family.

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 DXS617 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.

Denso Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW. Part number DXS617 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 DXS617, 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 JOHN DEERE 540G II, JOHN DEERE 540G II 1996, JOHN DEERE 540G II 1997, JOHN DEERE 540G II 1998. 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 by matching part number DXS617, OEM number AT195414, 12V clockwise rotation, 11 teeth, and the listed mounting dimensions before purchase.
