DB Electrical SBS0044 Starter for John Deere Toro CUB Cadet Briggs HD Version 691564, 693469, 808106 16HP 18HP Greenmaster Series LT166 LT170 LTR166 SST16 18 Infield Pro Sand Twister 97-09 592407

Works great so far. A lot cheaper than a $1000 OEM starter. After 2 years, it's still running.

Bolted on and works just like the original! Was easy to install due to placement on our tractor and seems to be pretty durable considering our climate. It fit snuggly where the original was placed and was easy to install.

This fits the Briggs and Stratton engine model 40H777-0178-G5. No issues works great.

John Deere Riding Lawnmower owner here. Starter stopped working. It's a few years old, secondhand to me. Check the battery, voltage is great. Try and start it, it'll try for a sec, then stop. Try again and you get the "click" of it trying but not firing. I try bypassing the key and taking the positive to the post on the starter. Nothing. Ok, need a starter. Get the solenoid too, why not. Get the rear of the mower disassembled, get the old one off (looks suspicious to my untrained eye) and install the shiny, beautiful, untouched new one. Packaging was great, looks brand new, no complaints. Try starting it again. Nope, same thing. Ok, maybe the old one wasn't bad, but I'm not pulling out the new one. Check the battery again, voltage is great. Start tearing apart the front of the lawnmower. Get all that done, about to remove the battery to replace the solenoid. ... The negative terminal is loose. Yeah. So I tighten that. Try to start the lawnmower. WOW, turns right over! I'd say with a touch more gusto than it did before, sure, but yeah. The fault was not the starter. It was the idiot turning the key. If either the starter or solenoid go bad, I'm all set! Look at the bright side of things right!

Perfect fit on my Brigg engine. Strong starter. Easy to replace. Looks to be well made.
