Questions & Answers
I've heard that the 9 tooth and 10 tooth starters are not interchangeable from people who bought a 9 tooth to replace their 10 tooth. Do you sell any 10 tooth starters?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
You can absolutely use 9 or 10 tooth drive starters due to the way the ring gear teeth are cut. If you have further questions, please give us a call.

Would the old bushing keep the starter and flywheel teeth from lining up correctly?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
If you dont replace your old bushing that is worn you can get some shaft wobble for sure.

Hi, I am just checking to see if anyone can help me with a problem I am having with my 47 CJ2a starter. I replaced the bad starter with a new 12 volt starter when I rebuilt the engine 3 or so years ago. Due to other issues I wasn't able to use it much until last year. I went to a rally last fall and where there were some deep puddles and the starter jammed shortly after. I pulled it checked the ring gear and cleaned the bendex and it seemed to work fine until I got it out this spring. It looked clean so I chalked it off to a weak battery. I pulled it and used a light grease on it and the ring gear still is ok. I thought it could be the original foot starter switch and put a solenoid in and it jammed again. I have been wrenching for over 40 years but I haven't worked on this type of bendex. Has anyone had this problem on a CJ2a? Any suggestions? HELP!!! Paul

If I install this new starter on a 46 CJ2A do I need to replace the bushing in the bell housing? If so, how do you get the old bushing out?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
It is recommended if worm. You can use a small socket and a vise to press out.

I have a 1946 cj2 with a 9 tooth starter. Will a 10 tooth starter work?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
They change the diameter of the gear so it will. They had both 9 and 10 tooth. This is a direct replacement for the MZ-4113 starter.

Does the metal band that that hides the windings/contacts and wraps around the starter stay on the starter during normal use? Or should it be removed and discarded?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Leave it on. You dont want dirt/contaminants getting in there.

I have an L 4-134 that came with a 6v MZ4113 starter and the flywheel tooth count is 124. Will this 12v version work with the current 124 tooth flywheel or do I need to swap out a 129 tooth ring gear? Also, do you have a service available to send my 6v core in and have it converter to a 12v? Thank you
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
An MZ4113 starter will only work properly with a 97 tooth flywheel count. Please call us toll free and we can help you sort it out. Thanks!
