Starter Motor 136-7880 for 2015 Toro 74760

[dtestin]

I need to repair or replace my starter. Does anyone know why starter 136-7880 is so expensive at $175-250? It has a somewhat different design with long bolts outside the case and the head seems to be extra stout. There is an unexpected cross reference to Gravely 21110533. which seems to be much less expensive ~$100. Stens 435-095 is another supposed match and seemed to be around $100. Any other alternatives?

Search around using this number 410-22096. It looks like you'll be paying at least $100 though.
it is the DB electrical number, You'll find that number under many different brand names, but they are all manufactured by Arrowhead Industries. Arrowhead also manufactures Stens electrical products.

And again it is a volume thing
Low volumes = high costs
slow sales = higher price

Gravely sells for 92.35. There is also a Gladiator starter that lists 136-7880 specifically. It looks similar but definitely different but is only 42.99 on Ebay. May give it a try.
