For a replacement starter referenced as 0745-052, confirm the two 5/16-18 mounting studs—not through-holes—and resolve the conflicting CW/CCW rotation entries before ordering. The supplied technical notes require comparison with the original unit; they do not establish a definitive rotation direction.
What the 0745-052 mounting specification establishes
The source identifies two 5/16-18 studs and requires their positions relative to the terminal to match the original starter. Treat the mounting arrangement and terminal orientation as a combined comparison, rather than approving the replacement on the stud description alone.
For the mounting review, provide clearly identified photographs of the original starter’s mounting face, terminal side, and overall unit. Ask the supplier to compare those views with the proposed replacement.
The supplied data does not state stud spacing, exposed stud length, or mounting torque. Keep those fields unconfirmed until supported by measurements or appropriate application documentation. Do not substitute through-hole dimensions for the specified stud arrangement.
Why neither CW nor CCW is confirmed
The source flags conflicting public catalog rotation entries for 0745-052 and calls for verification against a sample before ordering. Selecting whichever direction appears in one listing would leave that conflict unresolved.
Ask for written confirmation of:
- The rotation of the proposed replacement, verified against the reference sample.
- The viewing direction used to describe that rotation, so the comparison is unambiguous.
- The exact item or drawing revision to which the confirmation applies.
If the original starter’s rotation has not been established, state that explicitly. Any testing needed to establish it should follow the applicable service information and be handled by an appropriately qualified person; this listing does not supply a bench-test procedure.
Supporting specifications—not substitutes for those checks
The supplied 0745-052 technical record also lists:
| Feature | Listed specification |
|---|---|
| Rated voltage | 12 V DC |
| Construction | PMDD, permanent-magnet direct drive |
| Pinion tooth count | 9 |
| Pinion outside diameter | Approximately 29.1 mm |
These details support a replacement comparison, but they do not resolve the rotation conflict or establish the missing mounting dimensions.
For the full listed model applications, see the 0745-052 starter product page. Check the exact model and year rather than treating the Arctic Cat brand name as blanket fitment approval.
Put the unresolved points into the order review
A focused supplier request can read:
Please review the proposed replacement for reference 0745-052 against the attached original-unit photographs and machine details. Confirm two 5/16-18 mounting studs, their positions relative to the terminal, and any mounting dimensions needed for comparison. The source flags conflicting CW/CCW entries; please verify rotation against the reference sample and identify the viewing direction. Record the confirmed specification against the exact item being quoted.
Keep rotation marked unresolved until that confirmation is available. A matching reference number, nine-tooth pinion, or stud description should not be used to fill in the missing answer.
