• FH = Kawasaki's heavy-duty commercial vertical-shaft V-Twin engine series
• V suffix = Gasoline V-Twin variant / D suffix = Diesel V-Twin variant
• Used widely in commercial mowers, riding tractors, zero-turn mowers, and industrial equipment
• OEM-supplied to John Deere, Toro, Cub Cadet, Hustler, Bad Boy, Scag, Wright, and many other equipment manufacturers
• Production era: primarily 1990s through 2014 with continued aftermarket support

CRITICAL FITMENT NOTE — OLD STYLE vs NEW STYLE SUPERSESSION:
• This is the OLD STYLE Kawasaki 21163-7007 starter with THICKER bracket
• Kawasaki superseded this to NEW STYLE 21163-7031 with thinner bracket
• When replacing the 21163-7007 OLD STYLE starter (thicker bracket), the original 16mm length bolts must be used
• If installing the NEW STYLE 21163-7031 in place of an OLD STYLE 21163-7007, the 16mm length bolts must be replaced by 14mm length bolts to avoid having the bolts pierce the crankcase
• Engine serial number breakpoints distinguish OLD STYLE vs NEW STYLE — verify your engine serial number before ordering
