★ The Hotchkiss M201 received an electric windscreen wiper system with central motor from the start of production in 1955 — a significant improvement over the vacuum system of the original MB/GPW.
Application
Exclusively for Hotchkiss M201 (1955-1967) with electric windscreen wiper system. Not compatible with Willys MB or Ford GPW, which used vacuum-operated windscreen wipers. From military serial number 4544 onwards, a metal protective cover was fitted to the wiper motor.
Installation notes
The arm is mounted on the windscreen frame and is connected to the central electric wiper motor via a linkage. The M201 has a specific contact point near the windscreen clamp for the wiper motor circuit. Mounting with corresponding windscreen wiper blade with hook-type attachment.
Compatibility
Exclusively for M201 with electric system. NOT compatible with vacuum windscreen wipers of Willys MB or Ford GPW. Differs in mounting and drive from the vacuum system.
Historical context
Hotchkiss deliberately chose an electric windscreen wiper system with central motor for M201 production from 1955 onwards, thereby avoiding the problematic vacuum system of the original Willys MB. This system proved more reliable, especially in mountainous terrain where the vacuum system lost power when driving uphill.
