I have that starter, new in the box. And yes it cost me about 600+ to get it from Brazil and a long time to get it.
The bad news, it is not for the M1161. It is 12 volts and has a 13 teeth gear. It did not mount on the M1161
adapter plate. So, yes, it's yours for a steep discount if you'd...
Just to be clear to anyone following this thread, the starter I ordered from MWM was a complete lo$$. It wasn't compatible with my MWM diesel in the M1161. Since it was only my solenoid failure, I found an exact replacement solenoid (24V) on eBay. Simply slipped the replacement on the...
I'll be back to you with pix in a few days unless you want to give me an e-address to send directly. I don't do well with attaching pix on this complicated Steel site. I like GrowlerForum.com , less complicated.
This starter has no gearbox and is small...Type # M002T8871ZA, No. 77 28, and...
I too ordered a starter, not cheap, and it was in no way a match for the M1161's MWM engine! I managed to fix my original starter by finding the solenoid replacement on the eBay place., $29!! The nose of the "correct" starter is 3 inches diameter and too long. It requires two adapter plates...
My starter solenoid was fried. I ordered up a new, original $29 24V solenoid on eBay and refitted it to the original starter motor and back in business. The "nose" on this starter is unique. I couldn't find a geared starter to match it anywhere. Don't lose any of the parts!! The gear train...
FWIW, my 1161's arrived with "off the shelf" batteries.
While pursuing the parts under the lid in the back, I found and researched a black unit with lots of heat disapating fins. It's designed to regulate the currents going into the two series connected batteries. In particular, according to...
Just one other alternative I forgot to mention, It is possible to use a 12V starter, the one MWM in Brasil does supply by relocating the starter's feed cable to the tap between the two batteries. That cable can be found on the 200 amp. Klixon circuit breaker in the back near the compressor...
Correct, there are two machined, stacked aluminum "plates" on the nose of the original starter that push the starter back from the adapter plate so the pinion gear mates with the ring gear. The big mystery has been what is the Denso part number for that starter? Then of course, you have to...
The local parts store :>) True! But that starter isn't one of them! My 2012 M1161 is like new outta the box. Apparently the starter solenoid burned up before it ever got on the road. No wear on the pedals or any other parts. The starter was ordered thru Hercules in OH. Nice people...
A MYSTERY SWITCH IN THE m1161!!!
I took apart the instrument panels of my 2012 M1161 in an attempt to get the sand out of the corners and I found a "mystery push button" hidden under the air filter monitor meter! For reference, it would be just above the passenger's left knee. It's under the...
Too all Growler peoples,
I have loaded the diesel engine's manuals for you to download at
www.542Ocean.com there's a whole series from trouble shooting to
a parts breakdown. Hope it helps.
Sure, I'll have my son burn one for you. my e-mail is growler@wrnj.com drop me an address. There are 3 manuals on the CD. The last is total engine parts but in Portugese....not a problem however.

OK, great. I see you have the 12V version of the starter. When you open the box, could you send me the number on the starter...I think it's on a pasted label. I have folks in...
Congratulations on your accomplishments. Could you give me a lead on how to get that starter? I'm searching for months now trying to buy one and hitting one stone wall after another. I even managed to get the MWM part number ( 9.0572.01.0.0097) but nobody has been able to cross reference it...
