SO, Has anyone figured out which starter fits this engine yet?? I mean a U.S. available one that fits that military plate on the engine. DB electrical says they have one but the holes on the starter flange are on the opposite side.
I see an auction at GP for some growler parts and I see a starter in the parts. Its in Albany Georgia and its for July 01 and its starting bid is $200.
If anyone has a starter they could part with for less than 400 bucks that would be great.... unless they are going to bid on this auction...
The starter you have doesn't have any markings on it? a ton of pictures with tape measure for comparison would be great here! Also, where did you order your starter from?
Yeah and I have no idea why the guy was like that...never met him in person or acted any particular way with him just nice as could be and got nothing but excuses and such...too bad I was really hoping to get this thing installed but forget it now I will sell it and put in a cummins 2.8 now

OK but your not going to like it... I contacted a company in Ohio called Hercules manufacturing... turns out that they are the only ones who import for MWM Brazil in the entire U.S. Don't expect anything but heartache while contacting these folks. The owner was who I had contact with the whole...
I finally got the starter and flywheel from Brazil.... My bad I needed a flexplate and starter . I went to a Brazillian website for 4x4ers and did google translate and from what I read these are great engines that are getting upwards of 3 and 4 hundred thousand miles before needing major work...
Has anyone bought any of the MWM 2.8 liter diesel engines from GP? The engine fits the M1161 air transportable Growler from the Marines. I bought one about 2 months ago. It looked new, still in the crate wrapped in plastic and such. Well I am having quite the time finding the parts for this...
