OEX Starter Motor 12V 11 Tooth CCW Delco 42MT Style DXS9167

The OEX DXS9167 is a new 12V starter motor in 42MT style, set up with 11 teeth, counter-clockwise rotation, and a Delco suit. It is listed with a 7.8kW power rating, a 3-hole starter mount, and a 92mm flange diameter, so it is aimed at applications where the mounting pattern and drive setup need to match closely.

Key dimensions to check before ordering are the 126mm mount centres A, B, and C, the 16mm mount hole diameter, the 56mm pinion diameter, and the 48mm pinion-at-rest measurement. Those figures matter as much as the voltage and tooth count, particularly on heavier rotating electrical applications where physical fit is critical.

This unit is described as a wet or dry clutch compatible starter motor and weighs 27.5kg. The listed warranty is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, so it is a serious replacement option where the application matches the Delco/42MT pattern and the electrical and mechanical specifications line up.

Application and Buying Notes

For a starter motor like the DXS9167, the most important checks are the 12V system, 11 tooth pinion, CCW rotation, 42MT series, and the 3-hole mount with 126mm mount centres. If any of those points differ from the unit being replaced, the starter may not suit the vehicle even if the general shape looks similar.

The physical measurements are worth confirming carefully. This unit is listed with a 92mm flange diameter, 16mm mount hole diameter, 56mm pinion diameter, and 48mm pinion at rest. On heavy-duty applications, those measurements help separate a correct replacement from one that is close but not interchangeable.

The fitment information supplied points to Caterpillar 3150, Caterpillar 3160, and Cummins V903 applications, including Caterpillar 3150 model years 1968 through 1976 and Cummins V903 1983. Use that only as a guide alongside the part number and the starter’s mounting and drive details, because the exact application still needs to line up with the vehicle already fitted.

This is a new starter motor, not a remanufactured unit, and it is listed as suitable for wet or dry clutch setups. The weight is 27.5kg, so handling and installation should be approached with care, and the note advises that the 12 tooth option uses DRX14483 and must be installed by a qualified fitter.

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 DXS9167 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.

OEX Starter Motor 12V 11Th CCW Delco 42MT Style. Part number DXS9167 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 DXS9167, 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 CATERPILLAR 3150, CATERPILLAR 3150 1968, CATERPILLAR 3150 1969, CATERPILLAR 3150 1970, CUMMINS V903, CUMMINS V903 1983. 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: Please confirm fitment using part number DXS9167 and the full application details before ordering. Check voltage, tooth count, rotation, mount centres, flange diameter, and the existing starter’s Delco/42MT style against the vehicle already fitted.
