Starter Drive ESP-281 fits selected KIA automobiles and Caterpillar engineering equipment. Built using wear-resistant hardened alloy steel, it supplies reliable cranking torque for gasoline and small diesel power units. Accurately formed gear teeth and splines simplify starter maintenance and part replacement. The integrated overrunning clutch safeguards the starter armature once the engine ignites. It works as a practical substitute for worn, slipping or damaged original starter drives.
