The Multiquip 28422Z1T701 is a genuine OEM Starter Ratchet designed for Multiquip plate compactor models including MVC88VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVH158GH, MVH128GH, MVC82VH, and MVC82VHW. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through Multiquip's authorized parts program, this component matches the original specification and integrates directly with the existing recoil starter assembly. Keeping a properly functioning ratchet in place ensures your compactor starts consistently and reliably, getting you on the ground and compacting without delay. Verify your model code before ordering to confirm compatibility with your specific unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original specification, ensuring the ratchet teeth engage and release with the correct force and geometry for this starter assembly.
- Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to fit directly into the recoil starter housing on compatible plate compactors, using the same mounting points as the original component.
- Broad Plate Compactor Compatibility — Fits MVC88VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVH158GH, MVH128GH, MVC82VH, and MVC82VHW models, covering both single-directional and heavy-duty reversible plate compactor families.
- Consistent Engine Engagement — A worn or damaged starter ratchet causes slipping or failure to engage the engine during pull-start, leaving your compactor unable to start mid-pour or on a time-sensitive pour schedule.
- Authorized OEM Sourcing — Sold by DHS Equipment as an authorized Multiquip parts distributor, so part number 28422Z1T701 is the exact component referenced in Multiquip service documentation.
The starter ratchet is a core mechanical component of the recoil pull-start system on Honda-engine plate compactors. When the operator pulls the starter cord, the ratchet engages the engine's crankshaft to turn it over and initiate combustion — then releases immediately once the engine fires to prevent back-drive into the pull cord mechanism. Over time, the ratchet teeth wear or the spring tension weakens, causing the mechanism to slip or fail to catch, which prevents the engine from cranking. Replacing a worn 28422Z1T701 Starter Ratchet restores reliable starting performance and protects the surrounding recoil starter components from additional stress.
