Application

Specifically for Hotchkiss M201 jeeps equipped with the 24 volt electrical system. The M201 received a 24V installation with Ducellier pre-engaged starter motor from 1960 onwards, replacing the earlier 6V system. Please note: not compatible with 6 volt M201 variants (1955-1960).

Installation notes

The pinion is a wear component that should be checked regularly. During fitting: check the free play of the pinion on the shaft, inspect the teeth for wear, and ensure correct adjustment of the distance between pinion and flywheel (typically 1-2mm clearance). Test the starter motor outside the jeep before fitting.

Compatibility

ONLY suitable for 24 volt Hotchkiss M201 jeeps with Ducellier pre-engaged starter motor. NOT compatible with 6 volt M201 models or with American Willys MB/Ford GPW jeeps (these have a different starting system). Always check the voltage of your electrical system and the type of starter motor before ordering.

Historical context

The Hotchkiss M201 was produced from 1955 to 1966 in France under licence from Willys-Overland. From 1960 onwards, Hotchkiss switched to a more robust 24 volt electrical system with French Ducellier components, specially developed for military use.
