Re: Restoring cutouts
Ok thanks. Yes, the available repro cutouts are very poor quality. Original Ford cutouts are very high quality and are worth the effort to refurbish.

Re: electrical charging problem
The covers are spot welded on, usually with 2 spot welds, except the early type with tab terminals that have 4 spot welds. Filing the edge alone won't be enough to remove the weld. If you look close...

Re: three brush regulator
The March 1934 service bulletin has a pretty detailed description of the two-rate relay. I suggest reading that to get a good understanding of how it works.
Have you seen Dave Gunnarson's recent...

Re: charging
If it was properly rebuilt, the brushes should have been sanded in to fit the commutator. I do this on every generator I rebuild.

Re: charging
You must use an analog meter. What kind of cutout are you using? Did you install it backwards? Post some good clear photos of your generator so we can see.

Re: Generator Spinning
It sounds like the diode is either shorted or hooked up backwards. I offer refurbished original Ford cutouts and have the correct one for your generator. PM for details.

Re: Pully came off generator shaft
I rebuild a lot of these generators. That is a thin nut, I would NOT use an impact wrench, there is a good chance of stripping it. Loctite - yes.
