Looking for a reputable brand and source for a 720 motor starter.

TIA Pete
 
Highest quality is nippondenso for almost 200. Will last 10 years if cared for. They are the oem maker.

For much less you can get a DB electrical that will last 2-4 years

I ordered from DENSOPRODUCTS.COM in 2016

Denso 228000-4553 New Heavy Duty Starter
Item# DEN228000-4553​
They were over 200 each after shipping. The DB electrical I had also purchased about 3 years prior.

Denso new now $367, ouch !! Thanks for the tip on DB 'preciate it
 
For $40 it's hard to pass up. The main pain is removing the exhaust pipe and reaching that hear hidden bolt. Be gentle with the nut on the starter, I spun the stud and broke one. the build quality was OK, but they are brand new freshly made, not rebuilt.
 
One DB starter inbound.
