Questions & Answers
How is it that the 97 tooth flywheel can accept either a 9 or 10 tooth starter bendix? Are the outer gear diameter of the 9 and 10 tooth bendixs different? Are the front housings on the starters different somehow?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
It is for both 9 and 10 due to way the gears are cut on the bendix. This is for the original MZ4113 starter with 97 teeth used on the vehicles we list.

I purchased this from you, it came with 2 red plastic fiber washers.. what are these for and where do they go?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech.:
This doesn't come with washers. Please email mike@kaiserwillys.com to help. Those may be part of something else you ordered.

I have a m38a1 and my starter is a mz4113 is this the correct starter
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
That would be really weird for a M38A1 to have. But if you do have a MZ4113 starter this would be the correct bendix.

I haved a 1949 cj2a with a 9 tooth bendix do you have a 9 tooth unit?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
They used both 9 and 10 tooth. They change the diameter of gear to accommodate difference. This is the proper bendix for your CJ-2A.

I have a 47 CJ2A with this starter. I have taken it to the repair shop to rebuild twice. The issue is the cap on the end of the bendix drive keeps breaking off at the threads where it has been hammered for the indentions. The top two threads sheer off after maybe 10 starts. We have a 12 volt battery driving the electrical system and I assume this original starter is 6 volt. Can you tell me if the extra voltage is creating this problem or is my repair shop just using crappy china parts. Please let me know if this bendix drive will hold up to the 12 volt start.
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
The 12 volt wouldnt do that that Ive ever seen. Email mike@kaiserwillys.com and we can help you out. Thanks!

I have purchased Bendix drive Part no. A17702 which in the photos appears to have a left hand return spring which looks the same as my old one & fits a V4 Wisconsin spinning anticlockwise. However the part I received yesterday has a clockwise wound spring & the gear spins clockwise. Do you have the same part with the gear spinning the other way? Thanks for any help you can give me & I look forward to your reply. Regards Garry Spencer

I have an Autolight MZ 4013 starter with a Bendix 10 tooth gear. Will this Bendix fit that starter?
Willys Tech:
You probably have a MZ4113 starter motor. This is for the MZ4113 starter only. They used it in the Willys listed above.

Have '47 w/ MZ4113 Starter. Turning, but Bendix came off of shaft & shaft teeth/spline suffered. Can this product be attached to & be re-placed on existing starter shaft?
Willys Tech:
This can probably do the trick. You will want to check for any other damage on your starter too. We can rebuild yours if you need us too.

my bendix looks almost identical for 46 CJ2A, but on the bell housing end mine is just a small shaft. am i missing that bearing looking thing shown in picture? my bell housing appears to have a bushing in it that fits the shaft pretty decent.
Willys Tech:
Yes you should definetly have that on your MZ4113 starter.

I have 1966 Kaiser jeep CJ 5 with 4-134 F engine and worn out starter motor drive gear. Does all jeeps have same size motor drive gear?

Willys Tech:
Sounds like it could be. I would check your teeth and if your starter motor is turning over slowly.
