37-MT Starting Motors

The identification tag on the starting motor displays two numbers: Part Number and Consist Number. The Part Number is used to order a complete starting motor. The Consist Number is used for identifying the specific starting motor and acquiring serviceable parts for the starting motor. In some cases, the Caterpillar part number and the Caterpillar consist number are identical.
