Thank you for this video, it just saved me several hundred dollars and three weeks of waiting for the shop to do it.

I'm going to replace mine in the next few days. Cub Cadet repair near me has them for like $200. I need to check around for something cheaper, but fear whatever I find might be sketchy.

Thanks for this! I’m a beginner mechanic and was stressing that is was going to be a complicated repair- turns out it’s not! 😂 I ended up finding a new starter on Amazon for about 60 bucks so we’ll see how it works!

Thank you. Very good instructions I was able to R&R my starter with absolutely no problems.

$50 - 80 on Amazon! Great video. I'm testing my battery now and if it's ok, then the starter will probably have to be replaced!

Nice and easy!!!

What does it mean if the teeth are stuck and the bigger gear doesn't move

I can't find a serial / parts number to order a new starter; not in the manual. I have the XT1, 46 inch; 22 horse power unit. Can you help?

Found the starter on Amazon for $50.

Did you disconnect the battery first?

You changed the whole starter Do these have a built in solenoid?

I do not have money. And like most Americans, I've been forced to shop online for most things. And of course, most of it is Chinese. That's all due to corrupt politicians who've done away with manufacturing in the United States for the most part. I have no idea where it was made, but I ordered this starter from eBay last week. I'm in WV and it came from Ohio. 50 bucks. And that's in March of '24. Mower is four years old. So this cheap one doesn't have to last long to be as good as the original.
