I notice in the pictures that this starter lacks the flange on the back to secure to the engine block. Did someone decide this mount point was no longer necessary?

I noticed that the Factory Rebuilt Starter Motor 6 volt looks like my starter on my 1948 Willy Jeep CJ2A. The New Replacement Starter Motor 6 volt picture looks different on the shaft end. Is this the same as the Factory Rebuilt Starter Motor on shaft end. Thank you. Alan

Hello - I am re-building a 1942 GPW that was converted to 12V. The starter motor is working, but has one ear on the front bell-mount broken (I still have piece for possible welding) and the bendix does not have the small light-weight return spring. I can't tell if the starter is truely a 12v or just a 6v unit that is running off of 12v (It matches the 6v images I have seen.) Can you sell a small spring & front bell-mount (Also I may decide to use your bendix drive kit)
Willys Tech:
Your starter is still probably 6volt. We do sell the bendix part number: A17702 and we do have new hi-torque 12volt starters part number: A1245-12V

I have a 1948 CJ2A with a 4-134 engine. How can I tell if all of my electrical parts (generator,starter,coil,voltage regulator,etc.) are for a 12 volt battery which I have been using for years with no trouble?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
This part is a rebuilt option we have but we do need your old core back first. If you're switch to 12 volt, try A1245-12V, the hi-torque starter which is sold out right. No core required. Thanks

My starter on 1947CJ2A grinds and the bendix will not activate. What are my alternatives?
Willys Tech:
We have new bendix drive gears and flywheel ring gears available that should fix your problem. Or we can do like above and rebuild yours. If your 12 volt we even have new hi-torque starters available.

I have a 1943 Willys MB that has been converted to a 12v system. The starter looks like the one on your website listed as a 6v. The starter does not have a bendix on it. The armature has a bad spot on it and needs replacing. Will the 6v starter work on a 12v system? Can I send my starter to you guys and have it rebuilt if I cannot find a replacement starter?
Willys Tech:
We can rebuild your old one no problem. Yes a 6 volt starter will work on a 12 volt system for a while but it will eventually burn out. We also have 12 volt high torque aftermarket starters available too.

I have a 47 cj2a and my starter turns the engine over once or twice slowly then it just stops. I'm using a new fully charged battery. Do you think I need a new starter like this one?
Willys Tech:
This is a rebuilt starter. You will need to send it in. We do have brand new hi torque starters if you are running 12volt too. Part number: A1245-12V available.

I recently took title to my father's 48 CJ2A. I noticed that he had a newer 8 V battery installed which makes the starter turn over faster. Is this a concern for the electrical system (which is a 6 V system)? Rob
Willys Tech:
Alot of people do this. It is perfectly normal. I would just go thru your electrical system and make sure everything seems to be in good order and all connections are tight.

I have a 1945 MB and the autolite starter says MZ 4109 i was wondering if this starter was 6 or 12 Volt, and weather it was original for the motor?
Willys Tech:
It should say MZ-4113. Sounds like you have an unoriginal starter motor. Please call me toll free. We may be able to help out.
