Great starter
Fit right in and was easy to install. Turns the mower over faster than the original starter.

It did not work well.
This didn't function how I expect it. It won't engage properly due to slight difference. The starter motor replacement's plate was angled 90 degrees a where the bolt are located was straight while the original starter's plate wasn't straight. It was angled a little bit. Returning it.

Not an overnight shipping so you have to wait for it
Was very easy to put in. Turned motor over way better than I thought it would. A little slow getting to me as it had to come out of China.
