Yesterday, I started by wire brushing (in angle grinder) the brake drum. I also cleaned up the big plate that goes on the brake backing plate. The seal between the spindle and backing plate was torn so I made a new one using compressed gasket material I got from my work. Used the wire brush to clean up the generator. Then I carefully taped off the silver parts and electrical contacts so I could paint it gloss black. Cleaned up the lug bolts with my wire brush also, but I lost my grip on one and it went sailing. Can't find it because it is so dark out now. It will turn up eventually. Painted everything the appropriate colors, using high temp gloss black on the brake drum.
With the paint drying, I reinstalled the starter (less the solenoid).
