I am not in reciept of all the facts but it would be slightly odd if any of those starters were compatible that a second hand one can command a price of 800 pounds. But thanks for the links and info and i have passed them on in case they are of use in the future.

Cat are Perkins up to 6.6 litres, which takes it up to 200hp. I doubt whether they used one of their larger engines in a 13 ton machine. Might even be a four cylinder in it.

There you go! That's a Perkins four cylinder. To think that a starter for that costs £6000 is absolutely ridiculous. Someone's been pulling his leg and having a right laugh at his expense for believing such twaddle. The whole engine brand new would probably be around that price.
EDIT
Here's one similar, brand new for £4950+VAT
Caterpillar( Perkins 4.4 104kW ) diesel Engine New/Unused £4950 + Vat, 474 4238 | eBay
Genuine CAT parts. 2 x 74.5kW LRC (Only have JLG numbers as Chinese built CAT). new Carepillar 4.4 104 kW engine.

FFS, right, I wasn't expecting the Spanish inquisition on this one. But then again nobody ever does. I relayed a story first hand from a person who had nothing to gain in any from its telling nor have I.
The man in question is just off the phone with me wondering why I sent him links to starters and I asked him to clarify, so pay attention, we are not making this sh!t up, life is too short.
Customer arrived to him starter in hand with a copy of machine serial number. Starter had stayed engaged to the flywheel and melted / burned / welded itself into oblivion. Customer had already been on to CAT and received the quote. Spark then proceeded to hunt for suitable match based on starter dimensions and machine serial number, no suitable starter could be found. Machine was parked up for three months till second hand one was sourced. These are the facts as told to me he has no reason to lie nor do I.
In a few posts it has become apparent to some that meyself and my associates are full of sh!t and gullible idiots.
It is no wonder that a number of well respected members on this forum have stopped posting.

Cripes, that strikes me as a bargain?
£600 for a starter motor surely, not £6000?

Damaged the front housing of a transmission oil pressure sensor on the front on a JD Powerquad box last month through my own error in not being careful enough when doing another job in that general area. I gave the local JD dealer 120 pounds for said sensor in a JD box to get me going. Gave a quick google that night and saw that I had been royally done - that at around 4x the price that the sensor is available for at 30 pounds!! I am all for a business/individual making a profit but this seems a bit extreme in my opinion.

I think the answers are very helpful cuz HTF can a starter motor for a 4 cylinder engine cost £6K? The posters are trying to save your pal some money, I would be pleased if it was me.

I must be seriously out of touch with prices. Never mind the jcb price, £335 for a track rod. What’s special about it.

It's made from adamantium and has 'JCB' printed on the box it arrives in.
