OEX Starter Motor 12V 10T CW Mitsubishi Style MXS296

The OEX MXS296 starter motor is a 12V unit with clockwise rotation, 10 teeth, and a 1.4kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style starter motor and uses a 2-hole starter mount with 105mm mount centres, so matching the physical dimensions matters as much as matching the part number.

Key dimensions include a 77mm flange diameter, 11mm mount hole diameter, 207mm overall length, 31mm pinion diameter, and 18mm pinion at rest. The unit weighs 3.62kg and is supplied new, not remanufactured, which is useful when comparing replacements for Mitsubishi-based applications.

This starter motor is recorded as suitable for Mitsubishi units, with interchange noted against an 11-tooth version. That makes the tooth count, rotation direction, voltage, and mounting pattern important checks before ordering, especially where the existing starter has been changed previously.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number MXS296 with the starter removed from the vehicle or equipment. The critical checks on this unit are 12V, clockwise rotation, 10 teeth, 105mm mount centres, and the 2-hole mount pattern, because a starter can look similar while differing in tooth count, pinion position, or bolt spacing.

The physical measurements are just as important as the electrical rating. This unit has a 77mm flange diameter, 11mm mount hole diameter, 207mm overall length, and 31mm pinion diameter, with the pinion sitting 18mm at rest. Those dimensions help confirm whether the starter will align correctly in the housing and engage the ring gear as intended.

For buyers maintaining Mitsubishi-based industrial equipment or forklifts, the application list includes Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Fuso Canter, Mitsubishi Industrial Forklifts, Clark, Nissan Industrial Forklift, Caterpillar Forklift, and FE6 applications. Matching the exact application, year where shown, and the starter specifications together is the safest way to avoid a mismatch.

The warranty listed is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use. That warranty detail is useful, but it does not replace fitment checks. Starter motors are best matched by part number, rotation, tooth count, and mount dimensions before installation.

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 MXS296 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 10Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS296 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 MXS296, 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.

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: Confirm compatibility by matching part number MXS296, 12V clockwise rotation, 10 teeth, 105mm mount centres, and the 2-hole mount pattern against the vehicle or equipment application before purchase.
