Default Re: Generator Preventative Maintenance

I guess I should have titled this thread "Generator Restoration".

In the armature assembly picture above I show the old original open front bearing, but this generator will get a new sealed bearing, so no oiling on the front will be needed.

One thing good about someone not doing preventative maintenance is all the original hardware is there and none of the screw slots are messed up by using dull rounded screwdrivers.

Here's the generator band with the date stamp. 5J stands for May 1929. Since bands are so easily lost or changed, I'm surprised Ford didn't stamp the main body instead.
