Product Description
At Generator Magic, we only sell 100% genuine OEM parts in original manufacturer packaging. This authentic Kohler 32-098-10-S Starter Motor is the latest factory-upgraded model, engineered to deliver dependable cranking power and maximum durability.
Important Branding Note: As of late 2024, Kohler Engines officially rebranded to Rehlko. Your new starter will feature the premium Rehlko branding on the box and part. Rest assured, this is the exact same, authentic factory-spec Kohler starter—just wearing the manufacturer's updated logo.
Upgraded Performance: The 32-098-10-S Advantage
This newly designed inertia starter drive replaces the recently discontinued 32-098-08-S and delivers massive performance improvements over legacy versions:
-
80 RPM Faster Cranking Speed: Higher turn speed ensures a reliable roll-over engine speed and completely eliminates frustrating hot restart stalling issues.
-
Patented Rubber Disc Drive (RDD) Technology: Shields the inner friction surfaces from dirt, dust, and contaminants, significantly extending the life of the starter.
-
9-Tooth Pinion & Cold-Forged Gear: Provides increased torque, a covered end cap bearing, and a shorter motor profile for highly stable cranking. While your old 32-098 starter may have 10 teeth, the diameter of the gears have been reduced, and the new 9 tooth pinion provides increased torque while utilizing your existing flywheel.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a 4.5mm increase in shaft diameter to handle high-stress starts, paired with a reduced current draw for optimal battery stability.

Simplicity tractor back up and running.
I paid the Amazon tax and after my 3rd starter in 2 years of $60-$70 each, I finally coughed up the money for the real deal. Don't make the same mistake I made. I'm always trying to save a few dollars, and it always comes back to bite me. While the box looked like it was in a UPS war zone, the starter was undamaged. Purchased this on Friday before Memorial day, and it arrived on Tuesday here in Oil City PA.

arrived on time and is real Kohler starter
I'm not sure how they are selling these for so much cheaper than other places but it is identical to my old starter on my SV840. I was expecting an amazon style starter that would only last a few times before it breaks, I am glad I took the risk and ordered, since it said this was a real kohler product.

Kohler Starter motor
