The Multiquip 28422ZG0W02 Ratchet Starter GX100 MT65H is a genuine OEM component designed for Multiquip rammers and plate compactors including the MTX50HD, MTX60HD, MTX60HF, MTX70HD, MTX70HDR, MTX70HF, MTX80HDR, MTR40HF, and MVC40H. As a direct OEM replacement, 28422ZG0W02 is manufactured to the same specification as the original part, ensuring correct engagement with the GX100 engine's recoil system. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip supply channels, this starter is stocked by DHS Equipment and ready to ship. If you are servicing any of the listed rammer or compactor models, verifying the part number 28422ZG0W02 against your machine's engine tag is the best way to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Starter Pawl Engagement — Manufactured to the original ratchet tooth geometry and pawl tolerances required by the GX100 engine's recoil assembly, so the starter engages and releases cleanly on every pull.
- Direct-Fit for GX100 Engine Applications — Mounts to the existing recoil starter housing without modification, using the same bolt pattern and shaft interface as the original Multiquip-supplied unit.
- Broad Model Coverage — Compatible with MTX50HD, MTX60HD, MTX60HF, MTX70HD, MTX70HDR, MTX70HF, MTX80HDR, MTR40HF, and MVC40H equipment.
- Consistent Cold-Start Performance — A worn or damaged ratchet starter causes hard starts, slipped pulls, or complete failure to crank; replacing with this OEM unit restores predictable engine start behavior across all operating temperatures.
- Operator Safety Compliance — A correctly functioning ratchet starter prevents uncontrolled recoil kickback, an important safety consideration on high-frequency rammer and compactor equipment used in confined trench and slab environments.
The ratchet starter is the mechanical interface between the operator's pull cord and the engine's crankshaft. When the cord is pulled, the ratchet pawls extend and grip the engine's starter cup, transferring rotational force to turn the engine over and initiate combustion. Once the engine fires, the pawls retract automatically to disengage, preventing the engine from driving the recoil mechanism in reverse. When the ratchet mechanism wears, the pawls fail to grip consistently — resulting in the cord pulling freely without cranking the engine, or worse, a sudden recoil return that can injure the operator. Replacing a faulty ratchet starter promptly restores safe, reliable engine starting and protects the broader recoil assembly from secondary wear damage.
