m38-m38a1 starter plunger switch rubber button

Post by g.keating » Sat May 19, 2018 10:15 am

Just an FYI and any additional info if found.

I know they are very available and have them on 3 of my jeeps but:

No mention of rubber button that I can find in ORD7 and ORD 8 for m38, and ORD 9 in both m38 and m38A1.

I have knowledge from friend that the button is mentioned in the m37 parts book.

I found the parts box picture (linked below) on line and its a very early box. The group # on box 15-13 is for starter control switch on cj3A but no mention of the button or part # for it in the cj2a-3a parts manuals.

found several part #’s for button- 699482, 693508, 7351198( m37), 646617, 646702 (in early 50's jeep station wagons, trucks parts manual)

federal stock # 2920-00-562-0417 and its used a lot in aircraft

May be included with switch as part of an assembly but the switch is broken down in ORD 9 with no mention of the button?

ORD-7351198 or ORD 7359630 should make you happy if you want the rubber button. M-Series REO Got 'em, M-47 Got'em, Some CJ's Got 'em, I got 'em NOS in a box buried somewhere with my parts :wink: .

Did you check out any of my leads? Regardless of what they go to, they all fit the same and I'm just glad to find them when I need them. It's good practice, even if you know it is not in every manual it should be in.

I never mentioned I was having trouble finding them or that I was looking for them! I actually sell them. My FYI was simply that its not listed in the manuals for the M38 and M38A1 or CJ3A.
