Mahle Starter Motor 12V 11 Tooth CW MS894

The Mahle starter motor MS894 is a new 12V unit with clockwise rotation, 11 teeth, and a 4.0kW power rating. It is a starter motor with a dry clutch arrangement, reduction gear transmission, and a 2-hole mount pattern, so the key checks are voltage, rotation, mounting layout, and pinion/tooth details before ordering.

This unit measures 235mm overall length, has an 89mm flange diameter, 127mm mount centre to centre, and a 44.5mm pinion diameter. The pinion at rest is 48mm, the mount hole diameter is 11mm, and the bore O1 is 11.2, which are all useful points when confirming physical fit against the existing starter.

Mahle lists this starter under part number MS894 and identifies it as suitable for Mahle units. It is supplied as a new starter motor, sold each, and carries a one year warranty. The listed design also includes stated resistance to salt, fog, humidity, water, dust, mud, vibration, extreme temperatures, and aggressive liquids, along with compliance to EMC and other international directives and standards.

Fitment and application notes

• Fitment is listed against several HAGIE and JOHN DEERE applications, including HAGIE STS12, JOHN DEERE 6145R, JOHN DEERE R4023, JOHN DEERE R4030, JOHN DEERE R4040I/4050I, and JOHN DEERE series 5, 6, 6010, 6020, and 7030.
• Sample applications shown include HAGIE STS12 2018, JOHN DEERE 6145R 2015, JOHN DEERE R4023 2015, JOHN DEERE R4030 2015, and JOHN DEERE R4040I/4050I 2018.
• Use the part number MS894 together with the physical measurements, tooth count, rotation, and mount style to confirm the correct starter for your machine.
• If your existing starter differs in voltage, rotation, tooth count, mount pattern, or overall dimensions, do not rely on model name alone.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the existing starter against MS894 on the points that matter most: 12V voltage, clockwise rotation, 11 teeth, 2-hole mounting, 127mm mount centre to centre, and the 89mm flange diameter. These are the practical identifiers that help distinguish one starter from another, especially where similar-looking units are used across different machines.

The 4.0kW rating, reduction gear transmission, and dry clutch arrangement are important if you are matching a replacement to an original unit. The pinion diameter of 44.5mm, pinion at rest of 48mm, and for flywheel depth of 51 are also useful when checking how the starter engages and sits in the application.

This starter is described as having strong resistance to salt, fog, humidity, water, dust, mud, vibration, extreme temperatures, and aggressive liquids. That is helpful in harsh working environments, but it should still be selected on the basis of correct fitment rather than on durability claims alone.

If you are replacing a starter on a HAGIE or JOHN DEERE machine, confirm the exact machine variant and year where possible, then compare the existing unit to the listed measurements and mounting details. A model family can include more than one starter arrangement, so the safest approach is to match part number MS894 and the physical specification set before purchase.

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 MS894 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 Bore O 1 11.2, Tooth Pitch 15.63, Connecting Angle [Degree] 40, Packaging length 38.2, Packaging height 14.50, Product Group 2 STARTER MOTORS, Part No. MS894, Brand MAHLE, Description Mahle Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW.

Mahle Starter Motor 12V 11Th CW. Part number MS894 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 MS894, 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 HAGIE STS12, HAGIE STS12 2018, JOHN DEERE 6145R, JOHN DEERE 6145R 2015, JOHN DEERE R4023, JOHN DEERE R4023 2015. 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 MS894, 12V clockwise rotation, 11 teeth, 2-hole mounting, and the listed dimensions before ordering. Model names alone are not enough to confirm the correct starter.
