Mahle Starter Motor 12V 11 Tooth CW IM098

The Mahle Starter Motor IM098 is a new 12V starter motor with 11 teeth and clockwise rotation (CW). It is listed as an OE product and suits a dry clutch application. Key physical points include a 3-hole starter mount, 127mm mount centres A, 90mm mount centres B and C, and an 89mm flange diameter.

This unit is rated at 3kW and weighs 14.42kg, with an overall length of 338mm, a 41mm pinion diameter and a 48mm pinion at rest. The mount hole diameter is 11mm. These measurements are important because starter fitment is driven by the mounting pattern, pinion dimensions, rotation and electrical specification, not by a general visual match.

The part number is IM098 and the brand is Mahle. It is supplied as a single each unit with a one year warranty. For buyers comparing starters, the 12V system voltage, 11 tooth pinion and CW rotation are the core identifiers to verify before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

When checking whether IM098 is the right starter, the most useful identifiers are the 12V system, 11 tooth pinion, CW rotation, and the 3-hole mount with 127mm mount centres A and 90mm mount centres B and C. The 89mm flange diameter and 11mm mount hole diameter are also important because starter housings and brackets need to match the engine setup exactly.

The listed 3kW power rating and 14.42kg weight help confirm you are comparing like-for-like units, but they should not be used on their own to identify fitment. Starter motors can look similar while differing in rotation, pinion position, flange size, or mount centres, so the part number IM098 should be checked against the existing unit or the vehicle application details before purchase.

For workshop or fleet ordering, the safest approach is to confirm the existing part number, mounting arrangement, and the application listing before fitting. The compatibility list includes John Deere 2000, several Valtra models and several Zetor models, but the exact model year or series details should still be checked against the vehicle you are working on.

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 IM098 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 11Th CW. Part number IM098 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 IM098, 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 2000, JOHN DEERE 2000 1993, JOHN DEERE 2000 1994, JOHN DEERE 2000 1995, VALTRA 6300#, VALTRA 6300# 2002. 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 One Year. Warranty terms should be considered alongside correct application and part identification, as warranty does not replace fitment confirmation.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment using part number IM098, the 12V specification, 11 tooth pinion, CW rotation, 3-hole mounting pattern, and the measured dimensions before ordering. Vehicle application details should be matched to the exact unit fitted to the machine.
