It’s also not new. It’s a remanufactured unit.

Toyota does not sell new starters for older gas engines.

Ah, yes. I will correct title if I can

New, non-reconditioned one is floating around for $400 new from Toyota if you wanted to go that route

the parts box clearly states REMANUFACTURED ............

its NEWLY Remanufactured , hence NEW OLD STOCK

Just a heads up, New Old Stock means, new, in original packaging, not remanufactured items that can’t be acquired via any means from the original manufacturer. A new part, that has sat on the shelves for an extended period. If you can still buy the starter remanufactured from Toyota...it’s just a remanufactured unit from the manufacturer.

Don’t want people getting the wrong idea.

Back to the topic, the difference Is simple. The above unit, originally numbered 28100-60042, is a direct drive 1.0kW starter. Toyota started manufacturing gear reduction starters with the same output, 28100-60070. Simply put, gear reduction uses less power during startup. For those that are bored, Toyota only remans for our trucks these days like @beno stated and the gear reduction version is 28100-60070-84. The direct drive unit is 28100-60090-84 for the remanufactured version.

Either works. Gear reduction has become more of the industry norm.

Wait, so is this physically smaller than the OEM starter? Is better heat rejection the only improvement, or are there other benefits?

Doesn't look like a very good design if much mud and water is encountered with the exposed wiring on the smaller unit.

 

[OGBeno]

Generally speaking, direct drives will be physically larger than the gear reduction starter (-60070). Gear reduction starters will generally be smaller.

As @mattressking stated, gear reduction starters are industry standard for petrol engines.
