OEX Starter Motor 12V 9T CW Mitsubishi Style MXS9604

The OEX Starter Motor MXS9604 is a 12V replacement starter motor with a 9 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation and a 2kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style unit and is supplied new, making the key dimensions and mounting pattern important when matching it to the vehicle application.

This starter motor uses a 3 hole mount type with 145mm mount centres, 11mm mount hole diameter, 60mm flange diameter and 245mm overall length. The pinion measures 35mm diameter with 17mm pinion at rest, and the unit weighs 6.56kg, so it is sensible to compare the physical layout against the original part before ordering.

The part number is MXS9604 and the unit is identified under OEX as a starter motor for Mitsubishi applications. Warranty is listed as 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, which may be relevant where the vehicle is worked harder or used more frequently.

Fitment references include Mitsubishi Fuso applications such as Canter, Fighter and Rosa across selected FE2 and FE4 listings, but the safest match remains confirmation against the part number, rotation, tooth count and mounting measurements.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MXS9604 with the original starter and check the mounting pattern carefully. The key physical points for this unit are 12V, 9 teeth, CW rotation, 3 hole mounting, 145mm mount centres and 245mm overall length, all of which need to align with the vehicle or replacement unit already fitted.

The flange diameter is 60mm and the mount hole diameter is 11mm, so even a starter that looks close can still differ at the mounting face. The pinion diameter is 35mm and the pinion sits 17mm at rest, which are useful checks if the existing starter has a similar Mitsubishi style layout but different dimensions.

This unit is listed as suitable for Mitsubishi Fuso references, including Canter, Fighter and Rosa applications in the supplied fitment data. Because the fitment list is broad and model years overlap, it is best to confirm against the exact application details, not just the badge on the vehicle.

The 2kW power rating and 6.56kg weight indicate a substantial starter motor, so it is worth checking the original unit’s size and mounting position before purchase. Where the vehicle is used commercially, the stated 1 year commercial warranty may also be relevant when comparing replacement options.

If you are matching by vehicle, use the original starter’s part number, the tooth count, rotation direction and the 3 hole mounting arrangement as your main checks. If any of those details differ, the part may look similar but will not necessarily be correct for the application.

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 MXS9604 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 Weight 6.56kg, Product Group 1 ROTATING ELECTRICAL, Part No. MXS9604, Brand OEX, Description OEX Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW Mitsubishi Style, Flange Diameter 60mm, Mount Hole Diameter 11, Overall Length 245mm, Pinion Diameter 35mm, Rotation CW.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 9Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS9604 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 MXS9604, 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 FE2) 1981, FE2) 1982, FE2) 1983, FE2) 1984, FE4) 1985, FE4) 1986. 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.

The listed warranty is 3yr Passenger 1yr Commercial. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility using part number MXS9604, 12V voltage, 9 tooth CW rotation, 3 hole mounting and the listed measurements before ordering. Mitsubishi style and Mitsubishi Fuso references should be treated as guides only until the original unit and vehicle application are matched exactly.
