Re: [WT] L head starter
Hey Delbert Thanks for the offer. That would be great. I would need all the linkage and floor pedal as my 2a has none of it. Send me an email and I'll send you my address. khaw85222@... Thanks

Re: [WT] L head starter
Used a bit more than "a year or two": Used in the wagons from 1946 through 1951. Used in the trucks from 1947 through 1951. Used in the Jeepsters from 1948 through 1950/51. Used in the 3As for the

Re: [WT] L head starter
KEITH I have a complete set-up of this starter--switch that goes on the starter, and the rod/linkage that fastens to the floorboard, plus a starter that would probably be good for parts only--I know

Re: [WT] L head starter
The 3a setup is the only bellhousing/starter I have. I was able to find out by cruising around on the web that it was a open starter/ 124 tooth flywheel. I wouldn't even mind keeping the mechanical

Re: [WT] L head starter
So you have the bellhousing from the 3A as part of the transmission setup? Do you have a 2A starter? If someone can verify that the flywheel ring gear tooth count for a 2A matches that for the 3A

Re: [WT] Replacement Tubs
Hi John, I haven't had any experience with that particular site, but I did buy a MB tub from Willysacres.com, and found the tub to be very good quality, and the price was much cheaper that the

Re: [WT] L head starter
Thanks for the info David. I guess I was a little misleading. I only have the trans setup that came with the 3a motor. I do have a M38 motor but it doesn't have a bellhousing or starter. My 2a doesn't

Re: [WT] L head starter
That would be the correct starter for the 49 CJ3A. Also the same setup was used in the pickups/wagons/jeepsters for that year. What you referred to as a solenoid on that starter isn't, it's just a

Re: [WT] L head starter
I should have known to give the numbers. It is an Auto-Lite MZ 4137 5G. It came out of a 49 CJ3, or so I was told. I want to put it in my 48 CJ2a. That is about all I know about it. Keith

Re: [WT] L head starter
Depends on the flywheel, ring gear, bellhousing, and rear engine plate. The manual linkage starters don't have solenoids on them. Without more information it'll be difficult to give you an answer.

L head starter
Hey everyone. The flathead I just got has the starter with the "push to start" solenoid mounted on it. Is there another starter that I can use that uses a standard solenoid and switch? Or can this one

I finally got my '51 M38 to pass NYS inspection today. HURRAY. It's been 26 years since I had it "legal". First time around, they peeled back the wheel cylinder boots and found a little oil on three
