Testimonials

Excellent Replacement

Couldn’t be happier with this starter. Dropped right into my Massey Ferguson 135 with zero issues. Starts faster than ever before. Great value for the price—highly recommended!

Back to Life

Brought my old International Harvester back to life! I had almost given up until I found this. It cranks strong every time now. Shipping was fast, and the quality is top-notch.

Surprisingly Powerful

Didn’t expect this much torque from a budget-friendly unit. Spins faster than the original and has made cold starts much easier. I’d buy another in a heartbeat.

Exactly What I Needed

Perfect fit for my 1965 Ford tractor. Install took less than 30 minutes and it fired up instantly. Nice to find something that just works without hassle.

Happy Tractor, Happy Farmer

Couldn’t start my Dexta without a jump every morning. Now it turns over with ease. Great to find a reliable starter that doesn’t break the bank. Would definitely recommend!

dont wire it the way it came out

i am still trying to figure it out, if your only replacing the starter generator you should be ok. if you replaced the 2 solenoids (forward and reverse) with the White Roger replacements (who changed their wiring too) and now they don't match up to the new wiring on the starter. if someone has figured out the way around this, please post it

Great Fit!!

Quick delivery and perfect fit! This starter generator works well on my 1982 Yamaha G1!

Great Customer Service

I purchased this starter/generator for my 1981 Yamaha G1 golf cart. It took me a few weeks to get the time to install it. Upon installing it, I found that it was unfortunately not the correct application for my golf cart. However, even after the thirty day Amazon return window was closed, I contacted Partsworld and explained the issue. They immediately responded and offered me a refund. They truly offer a "no hassle" return policy and in these days when companies rarely stand behind their products, Partsworld USA lives up to their word. I would definitely recommend this seller!

Value for money

Daughter bought it for me. Cart was stalled for too long. Fit perfectly. Comes with installation manual. Very happy with the price!

Three months in and dead in the water, no reply from customer service.

No reply from customer service, so buyer beware...
