Built for Real Farm Work

This starter fits New Holland skidsteer loaders from the L454 through L555 series, plus a wide range of Kubota excavators including the KH10, KH101, KH151, KH170L, and many others. Whether you’re cleaning feedlots, digging drainage ditches, or moving gravel piles, these machines earn their keep every day. The compact 9-tooth design is specifically engineered for the smaller ring gears found on skidsteer and excavator engines.

Made to Last

TISCO builds this starter to handle the constant vibration and harsh conditions that come with operating compact equipment. The sealed construction keeps out dust and moisture that can kill electrical components, while the robust 1.4 KW motor has enough torque to spin even cold diesel engines on winter mornings.

Good to Know

Before installing, check that your old starter has 9 teeth and rotates clockwise—these specs are critical for proper engagement. Clean all electrical connections and apply a thin coat of dielectric grease to prevent corrosion. If you’re having intermittent starting issues, don’t forget to check the battery cables and ground connections while you’ve got everything apart.
