my starter has 10 teeth will this still work?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
The ring gears are cut in a way that they accept either a 9 or 10 tooth bendix drive.

Does this starter make use of the bushing that is in the transmission bell housing? If so, do I have to change it? If I have to change the bushing, is it included with the new starter?

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
No, these do not use the bushing.

does this starter have the same points of attachment as the original starter? or will modifications of some sort have to be made? I have a 42 Ford Willys GPW engine this is attaching to.

Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Yes, it bolts up like original and see link in item description for wiring instructions. Thanks!

Willys Tech:
That is a MZ4113 starter and will be correct.

Are you supposed to ground the starter? If so where at?

I just installed this starter on my 46' CJ2A. When I try to crank it grinds like an un-experienced welder. Is there a recommended shim for this starter? Thanks
