This 41MT heavy-duty starter motor is designed for Caterpillar construction equipment, including motor graders, asphalt pavers, compactors, and wheel loaders. Typical applications include road construction, paving, and earthmoving machinery operating with 24V diesel engine starting systems.
This 41MT starter motor is a direct-fit OEM replacement for Caterpillar starter references 1068559, 2071517, 2071519, and 2071551, with additional cross reference DR10478961. It is fully compatible in form, fit, and function with the original starters used on applicable machines.
This product follows the 41MT starter motor configuration, including mounting pattern, electrical characteristics, and torque output required for Caterpillar heavy-duty applications. It is not a universal starter and should only be used where 41MT specifications and OEM references match.
The 41MT starter motor is designed for higher-load, heavy-duty applications and is commonly used on construction equipment and large diesel engines.
By comparison, 37MT starters are typically used in medium-duty truck or lighter industrial applications. Differences may include torque output, mounting design, and electrical system requirements. The two models are not interchangeable without OEM confirmation.
This starter motor operates on a 24V diesel engine electrical system. It is not suitable for 12V systems or equipment originally fitted with 37MT 12V starters. Always verify voltage before installation to avoid damage or performance issues.
Yes. This 41MT heavy-duty starter motor is engineered for frequent starts under load and harsh working environments, including high dust levels, vibration, and extended operating hours. It is suitable for fleet machines, rental equipment, and infrastructure projects.
Absolutely. Thanks to its broad compatibility across multiple Caterpillar models and stable OEM cross references, this 41MT starter motor is commonly stocked by fleet operators, distributors, and service centers looking to reduce downtime and simplify inventory management.
Before purchasing, buyers should confirm:
Original starter OEM part number
Equipment model and application
24V electrical system
Starter type (41MT configuration)
Teeth count and mounting orientation
This ensures correct replacement and avoids confusion with 37MT or other starter series.
Yes. The starter motor is manufactured under IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified production systems, making it suitable for export markets including Europe, South America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, where Caterpillar construction equipment is widely used.
This product is primarily purchased by construction equipment parts distributors, Caterpillar service workshops, fleet maintenance departments, rental companies, and international aftermarket importers seeking a reliable OEM-interchangeable 41MT starter motor for heavy-duty applications.
