Generator pulley casting
Dear experts, my generator pulley failed (shown). Bought the wrong one on eBay. The wrong one is a different taper, and the hole (on the yellow paper side) is too large on the wrong one. What is the right item and where can I buy it? Billy

Re: Generator pulley casting
Snyder's (as I'm sure other vendors do) has new ones if you can not find a used one. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...6052&cat=41710

Snyders has the adapter Ford used to mount a short nose pulley on a
long nose armature. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...6061&cat=41710 |

Re: Generator pulley casting
NOTE this is not aimed at any one person.
Most Model A parts dealers that I have know for the last 60 years would have asked you which generator you had and sent you the correct pulley. This is why I buy parts from known dealers and never buy on ebay ... unless I am sure that I am buying the correct part AND I am sure they guy selling knows the difference AND is telling the truth.. Did you know that not all REPRO parts are same as what Ford put on the car? Recently I found out that there are at least 8 manufacturers of Clutch disks. Some work better than others. With clutch disks if you get a bad one you have to do the job all over again Not an easy job! This is another reason to buy from a dealer who knows the difference. I wonder how many Ebayers know the difference. OR MAYBE they are selling the part because they know it is bad and it does not work very well. Cheap is not always a good deal!

Re: Generator pulley casting
Please inspect your parts carefully before installation. While running my A in the garage, the pulley broke and sent the outer edge (like the one in the picture} into the sheet rock. Fortunately, I was not in front of it when it broke. Some of these parts are 90 years old.

Re: Generator pulley casting
Thanks, experts - I bought the right part from Bert's in Englewood, Colorado. I'll install it tomorrow and should be rolling for the Memorial Day parade.
Thanks, everyone. -Billy |
