1924 Generator removal

Posted by docgartner On 2016/10/31 15:16:46

My ammeter no longer shows any charging when engine is running at any RPM. I have tested only so far as to remove the ground from battery and this kills the engine. I presume my next step is removing the generator to send to a shop for rebuilding.

Here is my question. There are two bolts holding the generator drive end housing to the bronze plate and then to the chain case of the engine. (see photo) I have read to NOT remove the bronze plate. What is the correct technique for removing the generator but not the bronze plate? I see the two bolts, but what is at the hidden third position? A threadless positioning stud?
(see photo of a rebuilt generator, the third hole is at 4 o'clock position)

Any help and guidance is appreciated.
