Mahle Starter Motor 24V 9 Tooth CW MS265

The Mahle starter motor MS265 is a new 24V unit with clockwise rotation, 9 teeth, and a 4kW power rating. It is listed as a dry clutch starter motor with a 3-hole starter mount type, making the physical mounting pattern and drive details important checks before ordering.

Key dimensions on this starter motor include 127mm mount centres A, 90mm mount centres B, 90mm mount centres C, a 89mm flange diameter, and 11mm mount hole diameter. The pinion diameter is 35mm, the pinion at rest is 48mm, and the flywheel depth is 51.0, so these measurements should be matched carefully to the application.

Mahle identifies this unit as part number MS265 and as a starter motor under the starter motors group. It is supplied as a single each item, with a one year warranty, and the listed build is suited to Mahle units. The stated tooth pitch is 14.36, which is another useful cross-check when comparing against a removed starter or parts catalogue reference.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the removed starter matches the key identifiers on this Mahle MS265 unit: 24V, 9 teeth, clockwise rotation, 4kW output, and a 3-hole mount with 127mm, 90mm, and 90mm mount centres. These details are the most practical way to avoid a mismatch when replacing a starter motor.

The flywheel depth is listed at 51.0, the pinion diameter is 35mm, and the pinion at rest is 48mm. Those dimensions matter because starter motors can look similar while differing in nose length, pinion position, and engagement geometry.

Fitment references include CASE 540, DAYSWORTH PT20-SVH, several SCANIA series applications, and Volvo B57, BB57, FH16, FL6, and FM12 references. Even with those listed applications, the safest approach is to confirm the part number MS265 and the measured mounting and drive details against the vehicle or the removed starter.

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 MS265 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 24V 9Th CW. Part number MS265 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 24. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number MS265, 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 24 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Available application references include CASE 540, CASE 540 1988, DAYSWORTH PT20-SVH, DAYSWORTH PT20-SVH 1996, S - SERIES 2016, S - SERIES 2017. 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 by checking part number MS265, 24V voltage, clockwise rotation, 9 teeth, 3-hole mounting, and the listed dimensions before purchase. Vehicle application references are helpful, but the measured mounting and drive details remain the most reliable match point.
