Built for Real Farm Work

This starter is engineered for tractors equipped with the proven Perkins 6354.4 diesel—a reliable six-cylinder powerhouse found in many 2000, 3000, and 3600 series machines. Whether your tractor spends its days running a loader around the barnyard, pulling implements through tough ground, or powering PTO equipment for hours at a time, it depends on strong starting performance to keep your operation running smoothly.

Made to Last

MAHLE builds this starter to OEM standards, which means it’s designed to handle the high current draw and frequent use that comes with farm life. The heavy-duty internal components resist wear from diesel starting loads, while the sealed construction keeps out moisture and dirt that can kill starters on working tractors. The 2.8KW rating provides ample reserve capacity for reliable starts even when conditions aren’t ideal.

Installation Notes

This is a left-hand mount starter, so double-check your application—installing the wrong orientation will cause problems. Clean all electrical connections and mounting surfaces before installation since the 2.8KW draw demands good conductivity. If your old starter was sluggish, also check your battery condition and cable integrity. Even the best starter can’t overcome poor electrical connections or a weak battery.
