★ This starter motor is developed according to the original Ducelier specifications for the unique 24V electrical system of the Hotchkiss M201.
Application
Specific to Hotchkiss M201 jeeps (production 1955-1966). The M201 was built by Hotchkiss in France under licence from Willys and fitted with a 24V electrical system instead of the 6V system of the original Willys MB and Ford GPW. The 24V system utilised two 12V batteries in series and was combined with suppressed ignition for military use.
Installation notes
Please note: this starter motor is exclusively suitable for 24V systems. Before fitting, check the condition of the batteries, earth connections and the ring gear on the flywheel. The pre-engaged construction differs from the Bendix inertia type used on 6V MB/GPW models.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for Hotchkiss M201 with 24V electrical system. NOT compatible with 6V Willys MB, Ford GPW or civilian jeeps. NOT suitable for converted 12V systems without modifications. The M201 has a different starter motor type from the American 6V models due to the dual battery system and suppressed ignition.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was built between 1955 and 1966 in France as a licensed version of the Willys MB. The 24V electrical system was a French military specification, developed for reliability and compatibility with suppressed radio ignition systems. Ducelier was a renowned French manufacturer of electrical components for military vehicles.
