The Ford Barn

SoCalCoupe · 10-05-2023, 07:23 PM

Anyone know of a source for 6V generator field coils for my stock 1941 Ford? I'm pretty sure the decomposition of mine is the source of the loud "shuck, shuck, shuck" noise in my generator. I could see apparent scuffing when I took it apart. It's not the bearing or the bushings.

I've tried C&G Ford Parts, Third Gen, CW Moss, Van Pelt, and MACs. No joy.

Ford tractors have the same part number, think that would work? Hard to tell from the illustration.

I just bought 2 sets off Amazon a couple weeks ago, but they are currently out of stock. Keep an eye on Amazon, they should be restocked soon.

You may be able to save yours by rewrapping and rewiring yours. I've done this many times.

Also, be sure the bolt which secures the coils and magnets to the case are installed very tightly. There's very little clearance between the armature and the coils so it's possible the armature can rub on the coils or magnets. ndnchf might cover his installation process using a muffler expander to align everything and snug things up inside the case before tightening the screws using a press and a fixutre he built.
