Starter

The remotely operated start switch relies on relay contacts and a solenoid operated shift lever to engage the flywheel gear and crank the engine. The smaller relay shown on top may be separated entirely from the start motor housing for easy service.

MV Starter Circuits

By Bjorn Brandstedt
Bendix drive starters such as this Prestolite, (as well as many made by Autolite) were fitted to Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps, the GTB Burma Jeep, as well as most International and Studebaker vehicles. Bendix drive starters also went in and out of fashion on CJ-2s, CJ-3As, CJ-3Bs, CJ-5s, and most Ford cars and trucks well into the 1960s.
