HZ Starter Motor for Toro & Exmark 136-7880 — 708cc V‑Twin Direct-Fit Replacement with Pinion & Bolts

HZ Starter Motor 136-7880 is a direct-fit replacement starter for many Toro, Exmark and Titan riding and zero-turn mowers powered by the 708cc (2P77F/2P82F) V-twin engines.

This heavy-duty replacement starter is designed to swap in for Toro part numbers 136-7880, 127-9209, 133-1564, 133-9828 and related OEM references used across TimeCutter, Exmark, Titan and Z Master equipment. It includes mounting bolts, a replacement pinion (133-1562), and two spark plugs to help you get back to mowing quickly after installation. Before purchasing, verify your mower’s engine is the Chinese-made 708cc V-twin family listed (2P77F, 2P82F, LC2P77F, LC2P82F); this unit will not fit Toro models that use Kohler, Honda or Kawasaki engines even if the model numbers look similar.

Will this starter fit my Toro TimeCutter or Exmark mower?

Check the engine family and part cross-references to confirm fitment. The HZ starter replaces several Toro and Emark part numbers and fits many TimeCutter, Exmark Quest and Radius E/S series machines that use the 708cc V-twin engines.

• Replaces Toro 136-7880, 127-9209, 133-1564, 133-9828 and Emark equivalents.
• Compatible with 708cc engines: 2P77F, 2P82F, LC2P77F, LC2P82F variants.
• Fits many TimeCutter models (SS4225, SS4250, SS5000, SS5425, SW4200, SW5000, MX series).
• Works on Exmark Quest and Radius E/S machines that list the same engine codes.

What hardware and extras are included with the starter?

The starter ships ready for installation with the hardware and small service parts you commonly need at replacement. HZ bundles mounting bolts, the pinion gear needed for torque transfer, and two spark plugs to support routine maintenance after the swap.

• Included mounting bolts for secure attachment.
• Pinion gear (133-1562) pre-supplied for compatibility.
• Two original-style spark plugs for immediate maintenance.
• No additional solenoid or wiring harness unless specified in your mower manual.

How reliable is this replacement compared with OEM parts?

HZ starter motors are manufactured to meet the same mechanical specifications as the referenced Toro/Emark units, giving a cost-effective alternative when OEM parts are expensive or unavailable. Quality control ensures correct pinion alignment and housing dimensions for a straightforward swap.

• Built to match OEM mounting and pinion specifications.
• Tested for starter engagement on the specified 708cc V-twin engines.
• Bundle lowers return trips by providing common maintenance parts.
• Not universal—must match engine source and part cross-reference.

Who is this for? If you own a Toro TimeCutter, Exmark, Titan or Z Master machine that specifically lists the 708cc Chinese-built V-twin engines (2P77F/2P82F family) and you need a reliable replacement starter, the HZ 136-7880-compatible unit offers a practical, ready-to-install option. It’s ideal for owners doing their own maintenance, small fleet operators who need a cost-effective spare, and repair shops that handle multiple Toro/Exmark machines with the listed engine codes. Do not purchase if your mower uses Kawasaki, Honda, Kohler or other engines despite similar model numbers—confirm engine part codes before ordering to ensure compatibility.
