Starter p/n for an '81 450C, need some help please

Post by kilohertz » Mon Jan 20, 2020 7:51 pm

Hi all,

So I need a new starter for my 1981 450C, and I want to get one of the gear reduction starters, and I have decided to get it from Amazon as I am in Canada and ordering directly from the US is a hassle. I have been happy with DB electrical as they supplied the starter for my 350, but for the 450C I see 2 starters that SHOULD work, according to my logic, and the price difference is about $80. The one recommended for the 450C is a 140-315 6570 and the one I want to buy is the 140-914 6601, both the same price on the DB site at $90, but like mentioned $80 diff on the 'Zon. I called DB but only got a front line non-mechanical person, no help.

Now the thing is many crawlers, loaders and skid steers etc show both numbers to be good for a common variety of years and models, i.e. '86 and on 450E crawler, it's just the 450C isn't listed for the one I want. I image it could just be a lack of models listed, but want to confirm before I buy. I would think a 4-219 engine would be the same for most of those crawlers listed.

I'll link both so you can see quickly what I am talking about.

Thanks for the help, and sorry if I have broken any posting laws mentioning the companies.

Cheers

The on line John Deere parts catalogs show the current replacement starter for both the 450C and 450E as part number SE501428. You should check and confirm this for yourself.

For what it's worth, the one I bought was a 140-915 6570.

Buy both- send the one you don’t want, back. That way you can physically see them and compare them. Don’t put on engine and try each one, you may have trouble sending it back.
