Features
- Set of 4 carbon brushes for complete overhaul
- 6 volt specification for original electrical installation
- Copper-graphite composition for high current load
- Suitable for short duration high power operation
- Replacement part for starter motor overhaul
★ Essential overhaul component for maintaining the 6 volt starter motor. Replacement of worn carbon brushes prevents starting problems and ensures reliable operation.
Application
Suitable for 6 volt starter motors on Dodge WC-series vehicles from the Second World War, including ½ ton, ¾ ton and 1½ ton models with 230 ci engine. When replacing, check that the length of the old brushes has not fallen below the wear limit (minimum 8mm beyond the wire connection).
Installation notes
Installation requires partial dismantling of the starter motor. Note the correct positioning of brushes with straight versus side connections — two brushes are earthed via the holder (straight connector), two are connected to the field windings (side connector). During dismantling, hold the springs aside to prevent damage to the commutator and new brushes during assembly. Clean the commutator thoroughly before installing new brushes.
Compatibility
Specific to 6 volt systems. Not compatible with 12 volt starter motors. The copper-graphite composition is specifically developed for the high current load and short operating duration of starter motors — do not use standard carbon brushes from dynamos or generators.
Historical context
Starter motors on WW2 Dodge military vehicles operated at 6 volts and were designed for robust deployment under demanding conditions. The copper-graphite brushes reduce electrical resistance for maximum starting power, essential for cold starts in the field.
