Application
Specific to the Ducellier 24V pre-engaged starter motor as used in the Hotchkiss M201 jeep (production 1955-1967). The M201 was equipped by the French army with a 24V electrical system in accordance with NATO specifications, unlike the 6V systems of the American Willys MB and Ford GPW.
Installation notes
When replacing, check the position of the solenoid and the correct position of the fork relative to the Bendix pinion. The fork must be able to move freely without binding. Observe the correct sequence of disassembly and assembly of the starter block according to Ducellier procedure. Lightly lubricate the pivot point of the plastic lever.
Compatibility
Only for Ducellier 24V pre-engaged starters of the M201. NOT compatible with 6V Autolite or Delco-Remy starters from American MB/GPW vehicles. NOT suitable for 12V conversions. Check the voltage of your system before ordering this part.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was built from 1955 under licence from Willys-Overland for the French army. The 24V electrical system with Ducellier starter was a French adaptation to guarantee compatibility with NATO radio equipment and to enable better performance during deep wading.
