This generator is currently running on my 30 coupe with excellent performance. What model/year is it? Notice no band on end for brush adjustment.

Thanks for the feedback

It may be from a Ford tractor 8n or 9n?

My guess would be that the cutout is a dummy for looks. Is there a voltage regulator elsewhere on the car? The generator kinda looks later Ford but I can't identify it.

It's a 9N or 2N Ford tractor 1939-1947, they still used a cut out.
