★ Manufactured to original WW2 specifications for reliable cooling of Dodge WC engines.

Application

Dodge WC-series 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton lorries with 6 volt electrical system (such as WC-51, WC-52, WC-53, WC-54, WC-56, WC-57). Note: not suitable for late Command Cars and Carryalls with 12 volt 55A system.

Installation notes

Fitting often requires moving or temporarily removing the radiator due to limited space between fan and radiator. Position the dynamo in the centre position for correct tension. Ensure the belt is correctly seated in all pulleys for optimal operation.

Compatibility

Specific to 6 volt systems. Dodge WC-62 and WC-63 (1-1/2 ton 6x6) use the same fan belt as 3/4 ton WC models. NOT suitable for 12 volt systems — these have a different dynamo pulley and require a different belt length.

Historical context

The Dodge WC-series used a 6 volt electrical system with mechanically driven dynamo during WW2. The fan belt was crucial for engine cooling under severe tactical conditions in all climates.
