Mahle Starter Motor 12V 8 Tooth CCW, 1.2KW, MS156

The MAHLE starter motor MS156 is a 12V unit with 8 teeth, counter clockwise rotation and a 1.2kW power rating. It is supplied as a new starter motor with a cradle mount type and reduction gear transmission, so it is a specific match for applications that call for those exact electrical and mechanical details.

Key dimensional details include a 28mm pinion diameter, 66mm flange diameter, 17mm pinion at rest, and a 20.0 flywheel depth. Those figures matter when comparing against the existing starter, especially where access, bellhousing clearance, or engagement depth need to be checked before ordering.

This unit is listed as Mahle part number MS156 and carries a one year warranty. It is identified as a dry clutch starter motor with zero mounting bores and a tooth pitch of 12.88, so the part needs to be matched carefully to the vehicle or machine application rather than selected on voltage alone.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MS156 and the starter layout on the machine or vehicle. The important matching points here are 12V, 8 teeth, CCW rotation, cradle mount, reduction gear transmission, and the 66mm flange diameter. If any of those differ from the unit being replaced, the starter should be checked again before purchase.

The pinion and engagement figures are also worth verifying. This starter has a 28mm pinion diameter, 17mm pinion at rest, and a specified flywheel depth of 20.0. Those measurements help when confirming that the starter will physically align with the flywheel arrangement already fitted.

Because this is a new starter motor rather than a remanufactured unit, it is intended for direct replacement where the application details match. The one year warranty provides a clear coverage period, but it does not replace the need to confirm the mounting style and electrical specification against the existing part.

If you are matching by equipment model, use the listed application references as a guide only: AMMANN AFW150-2, AMMANN APR4920, AMMANN APR5920, and HATZ 1B40 are the named fitment references provided. Always confirm the exact build variant, year, and starter configuration on the machine before placing the order, particularly where the same model family may have more than one starter option.

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 MS156 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.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Number of mounting bores 0, For flywheel depth 20.0, Mounting points diameter 0, Packaging width 16.60, Net Weight 3567, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. MS156, Brand MAHLE, Description Mahle Starter Motor 12V 8Th CCW, Flange Diameter 66mm.

Mahle Starter Motor 12V 8Th CCW. Part number MS156 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 MS156, 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: Confirm fitment using MAHLE part number MS156 together with the 12V, 8 tooth, CCW, cradle mount, reduction gear, 66mm flange, 28mm pinion, and 20.0 flywheel depth details before purchase.
