EDIT: Thanks again to Ross….I now understand that one brush is ground and a lot of rust on the end plate could be a big part of the issue. Got the pulley off with a puller and now also understand that the notch I was seeing is the notch for the key in the shaft. Now to do some good clean up and see if maybe that’s all it needs.

I’ve said it before, but it needs to be said again…I truly appreciate all the help from this network of people and the patience with those of us who are doing these things for the first time. I know many are likely scratching their heads and thinking “oh lord, what is this guy doing?” There is a one word answer to that….”Learning”?




Thanks…

Follow up questions…I decided to pull out the generator and take a look….

First question….the generator has two brushes that appear to be in fair condition. The springs operate well. Only one brush has a wire going to it. Is that right? I see no signs of any broken wires anywhere.









Second question….At this point, I decided I’d like to disassemble and clean things up and also see if I spot any obvious issues. The nut and washer came off the pulley fairly easily, but how does the pulley come off from here… There appears to be a retainer of some sort, but I don’t know how to remove it. Just has a single notch in it.
