Here is a small oddity of the early-2000s tractor world: New Holland built the TM range, Case IH built the MXM range, the two wore different paint and carried different badges, and underneath they shared so much hardware — electricals included — that one starter reference, 87755550, quietly covers both families from the TM115 of around 2000 to the MXM190 that ran on past 2007. It is that unit this listing sells: 12 V, 3.0 kW, ten-tooth pinion, clockwise, built in the PLGR pattern the originals used, and because Iskra engineered the design, the same reference surfaces in Bosch, Lucas and Mahle catalogues wearing their own codes.
Nobody expects a shared parts bin to be tidy, but this one comes close: the TM line ran in two waves, roughly 2000 to 2002 and then 2002 to 2007, the MXM models sat between 2002 and 2007, and the same starter wandered across both families and several engine options while Iskra, Bosch, Lucas and Mahle each catalogued it under their own codes. That is why the old unit gets the final word rather than the model-year chart — the number on its plate, the ten teeth, the shape of the nose, these settle in seconds what a spreadsheet only guesses at.
Photograph the stamping if corrosion has been at it, and if you are a dealer or a repair shop, send the serial and engine details across with the enquiry, because that is what comes back as a quote with a price, stock, a dispatch date and warranty terms that hold where the part is actually going.
