★ Standard replacement part for 6 volt starter motors on classic military and civilian jeeps. The Bendix drive provides automatic engagement and disengagement during starting.
Application
Fits starter motors type MZ-4113 and A1245 with 97-tooth flywheel. This starter configuration was used on the vehicles listed in the product categories with 6 volt electrical systems.
Installation notes
Before fitting, check that the pinion slides freely over the armature shaft and returns under spring tension. Clean the helical thread thoroughly but do not grease it – dirt and oil attract each other and cause malfunctions. During fitting, the pinion must engage correctly with the flywheel ring gear.
Compatibility
Specific to starter motors with 10-tooth pinion and 97-tooth flywheel. NOT compatible with later 9-tooth systems (124-tooth flywheel) as used on early CJ-3A and M38 models. Check the starter type (MZ-4113) before ordering.
Historical context
The Bendix drive was used during WWII on military jeeps and remained standard on early civilian CJ models. The system uses a helical thread that pushes the pinion forward when the starter motor rotates.
