Description
Overview:
The End Cap Commutator is a genuine Kohler replacement part for starter motors on selected Command-series engines, including CH14 and CH22 (OEM 12 227 11-S). It is a moulded, heat‐resistant polymer end cap with electrical contacts that holds the brushes in position around the commutator, maintains insulation, and supports smooth starter operation. Built to OEM tolerances, it helps deliver reliable cranking, stable electrical contact, and reduced wear in everyday use. This part is intended for construction and garden machinery powered by Kohler CH and CV engines, such as ride‐on mowers, lawn tractors, and compact equipment. Using the genuine Kohler component preserves fit, function, and service life, and provides a straightforward like‐for‐like replacement during maintenance or repair.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kohler part (OEM 12 227 11-S) for assured fit and compatibility
- Durable, heat and vibration resistant polymer body for long service life
- Holds starter brushes accurately for consistent electrical contact to the commutator
- Supports reliable cranking performance and reduces brush and commutator wear
- Direct replacement design to minimise downtime and simplify fitting
- Maintains correct insulation and alignment at the commutator end of the starter
- Suited to frequent start cycles common in commercial and domestic use
- Typically reuses existing mounting hardware where applicable
Typical Applications:
Used on the starter motor of Kohler-powered machinery including ride‐on mowers, garden tractors, small generators, and compact construction equipment. Ideal for routine servicing to restore easy starting after brush cap damage, heat stress, or electrical wear. Suitable for professional workshops and DIY maintenance to keep engines cranking reliably in seasonal or daily operation.
