OEX Starter Motor 12V 9 Tooth CW Mitsubishi Style MXS323

The OEX MXS323 starter motor is a 12V unit with clockwise rotation, a 9 tooth pinion, and a 1.2kW power rating. It is listed as a Mitsubishi style starter motor, with a 2 hole mount type, 110mm mount centres, and a flange diameter of 82mm.

Key dimensions for checking installation include an overall length of 200mm, a 29mm pinion diameter, a 7mm pinion at rest, and a 12mm mount hole diameter. The unit weighs 4.02kg and is supplied new, not remanufactured.

This starter motor is described as interchangeable with an 11 tooth unit, but the tooth count, rotation, mounting style, and physical dimensions still need to match the vehicle application. It suits Mitsubishi units and is also listed against a number of industrial and forklift applications, so confirming the exact part number and fitment details is important before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, compare the part number MXS323 and the physical details against the existing starter motor on the vehicle or machine. The important checks here are 12V voltage, clockwise rotation, 9 tooth pinion count, 2 hole mount type, and the 110mm mount centres A.

The starter is listed with a Mitsubishi unit make and also appears against Mitsubishi industrial forklifts, Komatsu forklift models, Nissan 280ZX, Nissan Cabstar, and TCM applications. That makes the exact application match more important than the model name alone, especially where different starter versions may share similar housing layouts.

The note that it is interchangeable with an 11 tooth unit should be treated carefully. Interchangeability does not remove the need to confirm the pinion count, pinion diameter, flange diameter, mount hole diameter, and overall length, because those measurements affect how the starter sits and engages.

For commercial and industrial use, the listed warranty is 1 year, while passenger use is 3 years. The unit is new and carries a 1.2kW rating, so it is intended to replace a compatible starter motor rather than be rebuilt or remanufactured. Keep the old unit handy for comparison if you are matching by sample rather than by catalogue reference.

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 MXS323 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 9Th CW Mitsubishi Style. Part number MXS323 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 MXS323, 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 KOMATSU DT11, KOMATSU DT11 1989, KOMATSU FG15DT-15, KOMATSU FG15DT-15 1980, MITSUBISHI INDUSTRIAL FORKLIFTS, MITSUBISHI INDUSTRIAL FORKLIFTS 1990. 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 fitment by checking the part number MXS323, the 12V CW specification, and the mounting and tooth details against the vehicle or machine currently fitted. If the existing starter differs in tooth count, rotation, mount type, or measured dimensions, do not assume it will be a direct match.
