My 2018 XG-850-SL starter died yesterday. The old part number from Kubota is E7153-11732 which has been superceed by part # EG881-63010. I am looking for an aftermarket starter because the Kubota retail price for the starter starts at $550 and upwards toward $850.  If anyone has gone down this road before and has found an aftermarket starter ~ please share with me. We own a ranch and this thing is used every single day and is sorely missed when it is down for maintenance.  Kind Regards, ~ Stan

Follow-up ~ I have found that lightly tapping on the starter with a hammer allows it to start.  We live in a dusty ranch environment so it is likely worn brushes and or dust. I can remove the starter, disassemble, and inspect but would like to have an alternative lined up in case it is basically trashed.  I know dust plays a role in the problem because it exhibits a slight squeek when starting. ugh

Don't tap it as you will break the magnets that are glued in the housing and then you will have junk. Clean it and check for worn out bushings!

As a mechanic thats needlessly replaced many rebuildable starters, DO NOT hit it!

Also check, clean and di-electric all battery, solenoid and ground cables before condemning the starter.

I have the same year model Sidekick and have experienced this problem-TWICE! And good luck finding an alternative. The problem is the permanent magnets used for the motor field detach from the motor housing and shift around, typically breaking up and binding the rotating element, a.k.a. the armature, producing that irritating screeching sound.  Eventually it will become so bound up that it will not operate at all. If you know how it is possible to replace the magnets but in my experience this is only a temporary fix but the two times I did the replacement, it bought me 4 or 5 months to save up the money for a new starter I just recently purchased the newer part number starter but have yet to install it.  Hopefully Kubota has corrected the problem, hence the new part number

      Identify this part help needed
      By Wolfpaak
      I think this part is causing a high idle problem(4000 rpm at start up) in my 04 R4 Joyner. I took it out and cleaned it and the problem went away. I just went out to start my SXS and it's idle jumped up to 4 grand again. Can someone tell me what this part is called so I can search for a new one. Or can you point me towards a source. 
      Thanks in advance.

      Which is the best oil to use ?
      By Prepper
      I have been doing a little research on which engine oil is best for UTV engines.  There seems to be some disagreement over using a good quality regular engine oil, and the necessity of using "M2" (or wet clutch suitable) oil.  My understanding is the "wet clutch" suitable oil has less friction reduction properties (hence a more responsive clutch with less slippage).  While less friction reduction properties would seem to be better for the wet clutch... it would not be best for the internal engine parts like camshaft bearings and other moving parts where friction is detrimental and would lead to premature failure.  Some folks swear you need M2 oil, while others say they have been using regular motor oil for years and their clutch is just fine.  Could they both be right ???
      Any thoughts ?

      2018 Hisun Sector 1000 Crew stalling but starts right back up. Please help!
      By Jon Spruill
      Hey Guys, I have been chasing a stalling condition for about two weeks now. The bike will crank up and idle fine, then after about 20 seconds it will fall on its face and stall. It happens at both idle and while running at various rpms. You can turn the key off, turn it back on and it will fire right back up without trouble. I have verified spark on both cylinders with a spark tester. I have also added an inline fuel filter, and pulled the injectors to verify proper pulse on each. Things I have replaced - (relearn procedure performed after each component replaced): spark plugs, ECU, relay/fuse box, fuel pump, & throttle position sensor - all with no improvement of the condition. The only warning light I get when the condition occurs is the oil lamp. The bike only has 14 miles. I am at a loss and appreciate any help and suggestions! Thanks

      Kubota RTV-XG850 Sidekick shifting into nuetral problems
      By Paul L
      When I am driving at 30 to 40 mph on the highway, the display will change from H (high) to R (reverse).  It does not actually shift into reverse, it seems to shift into neutral and starts losing speed and the gas pedal has no effect.  After the rpm/speed drops for 5 seconds or so, it changes back to H and runs fine for another minute or so.  You have to try to drive it at less than 5000 rpm or so, to try and keep this from happening.  Any ideas on what the problem might be?  It only happens at the higher speeds.

      Can’t figure out what part I’m missing
      By Grant
      I recently bought an axis 500 and it’s missing a box or something the plug is L shaped I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams and still can’t figure it out. The plug is located right near the battery housing
