Hello Everyone

[RJC55]

Hello out there;
I wanted to be able to communicate with other owners of the Ingersol/Case 442 owners and or anyone that can give me some insight on my garden tractor. I purchased my Ingersol/ Case 442 tractor 5 years ago for $600.
It came with a snowblower attachment, a mower and a blade assembly for plowing snow. This tractor has an Onan 16 horse engine and has been pretty dependable until the last couple of months. I cannot start this tractor because the starter is shot. My dilemma is getting a replacement starter which will interchange with the outdated starter that I took off of my tractor. The Part number that I found listed is a Delco- 11019701 (A70202) . I have been looking everywhere to get a replacement , even an aftermarket brand that will work with my 12 volt system. If anyone can point me in the right direction , I would greatly appreciate it. Delco no longer manufactures or stocks this starter. I would even accept a used starter at this juncture or one for parts that has a good case with the magnets intact with the case. The armature and brushes on my starter is good but the magnets came apart on the inside of my starter. This tractor has been a great asset in all seasons and I want to be able to use it again.

Thank you,
RJC55

The 442 had a single cylinder 12 hp engine that used a starter generator, that looked like this:

So someone did a repower with a 16 hp Onan, probably like the 446 used.

What is the Pxxx number on it?

Have you contacted Joe's? https://joesoutdoorpower.com/

Thanks for taking the time to do research in my behalf. I think that I will have to get some more information like the serial number on the engine. The starter I took off has a partial tag which states Taiwan and my starter has no pulley on one end, just a gear which engages the flywheel. This starter is mounted with 2 bolts and has a stud which is on the opposite end for an electric connection coming from the solenoid. The starter label also has 88/1-117 marked on it and is relatively small with a 3 in diameter. I will even accept any cross- referenced aftermarket starter that will work.

Thank you,

RJC

You're welcome. We still need to know which Onan engine that it fits on.

Hi Everyone;
I did discover that my Case is a 446 and I have the model and serial number of the engine that mystarter was attached to. The Model number is P218G-1/10936G and the serial number is H963578524.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
RJC

The P218G is the 18 hp version that came in the Case 448 and some John Deere garden tractors. So definitely not original.

Here is a used one on eBay: Case Ingersol 446 Onan BF-MS/2891E OEM 12V Electric Starter C29733 | eBay

And some more if it is the right one: onan p218 starter | eBay
