48 dodge 49 dodge _ Plymouth starter interchangeability

[Ed McDermott]

I have a 48 Dodge custom D24 sedan.

I pulled the starter out over some starting issues and to rebuild the starter.

When I removed the starter, the name plate on it was Chrysler corp. and auto Lite model MCH-6101.   I was not able to get a complete 48 dodge rebuild just the brushes.

I did an online search for auto lite MCH-6101 and for a kit.

Auto lite MCH-6101 shows as fitting 49 -53 Dodge and Plymouth as well as some tractors.

Could it be that MCH-6101 fits a 48 Dodge ?

Or did a previous owner just put one in because they are available?

Any ideas?

thanks

Ed

1946 - 1948 Dodge took starters MAW-4041  and MZ-1133 .  Does this mean that MCH-6101 won't work ?  I don't know .
