If you're sorting out a wheel loader parts list or a whole-machine purchase, the choices here span two very different budgets: new starters for popular Caterpillar and Case wheel loaders, and a used Hyundai HL730-3 articulating wheel loader. The decision comes down to whether your need is a single electrical component or a complete machine.
Quick Take
For owners of Caterpillar wheel loaders in the 920/930/936/950/966/980 range, both Total Power Parts starters are listed at $464.87. If you need a Case wheel loader starter, the Nth Gear unit is listed at $151.99. If your project is actually a machine purchase, the 1999 Hyundai HL730-3 is listed at $24,995.

Product Notes
Starter for Caterpillar Wheel Loader 920 930 936 950 B 966C 966D 1969-1984
This Total Power Parts starter is listed as new and designed for Caterpillar wheel loader models 920, 930, 936, 950B, 966C, and 966D from 1969-1984. It carries interchange numbers that include 10461242 and 110999. At $464.87, it is described as a 12-volt, clockwise-rotation unit with 12 teeth, and it is made in China. Choose it if you need a direct named compatibility list for those older Cat loaders. The limitation is that the compatibility is tied to that specific model range, and the listed price is higher than the Case starter in this guide.
Starter for Caterpillar WHEEL Loader 980 980B 1966-1983 Caterpillar 3306 Engine
If your machine is a Caterpillar 980 or 980B built between 1966 and 1983 with the 3306 engine, this $464.87 starter from Total Power Parts covers that combination. It is also new, 12-volt, clockwise rotation, and made in China, with the same interchange numbers as the other Total Power Parts starter. Pick it when the 3306 engine fit is what you need; the catch is that the model-specific title means it may not be the right unit for other Cat loaders outside that list.
Starter 6583N For Case Wheel Loader 470 480B 480CK 580/B Construction King 188
At $151.99, the Nth Gear starter 6583N is the lowest listed price in this guide. It is new, made in China, and listed for Case wheel loader models 470, 480B, 480CK, and 580/B Construction King 188. The starter features clockwise rotation, 3 holes, 10 teeth, and a 1-year manufacturer warranty in the supplied specs. It also carries a California Prop 65 warning. This is a good place to start if you are chasing a Case application and want to keep the component cost down. The trade-off is that the compatibility list is narrower than the Caterpillar starters.
1999 HYUNDAI HL730-3 ARTICULATING WHEEL LOADER
The only complete machine here is a used 1999 Hyundai HL730-3 articulating wheel loader listed at $24,995. It shows 8,765 hours, has a hydrostatic drive, and comes with a 92-inch GP bucket, 2-cubic-yard capacity, auto leveling, and a Deutz BF4M1012EC diesel engine according to the listing. If you're ready to buy a whole loader rather than a part, this gives you a full machine with a stated 19,841 lb operating weight. The obvious limitation is the price difference: it dwarfs the starter costs, and the unit is used with significant hours, so you are taking on the condition of a 1999 machine.
Final Recommendation
If you are a parts buyer, decide between the $464.87 Cat starters and the $151.99 Case starter by matching the model list in the title. If you are a machine buyer, the $24,995 used Hyundai HL730-3 is the only whole loader in the set. For most parts-only shoppers, the Case starter's lower listed price makes it the easier first look when your tractor fits that line; for Cat owners, the two Total Power Parts starters are the direct listed matches.
