Generator Rebuild
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2017 10:51 am
I'd like to rebuild the spare 28v 25a Prestolite generator for the truck and possibly do the one in the truck too. The info I've found so far is:

Unfortunately this appears to be a bit too old for the units I have. The tag of the unit in the truck is below:
What I'd like to do is accumulate all of the necessary rebuild info before I crack one of these open and find out that I just damaged it due to ignorance. I'm looking for info on what manuals I need to track down and what parts are necessary. The genny in the truck works fine and the spare is untested due to a lack of a pulley & nut.
I figure I can do one over the summer break and then show the students how to do one in August when they're back. It will be a fun way to teach them some electrical principles, but not quite as much fun as a distributor and coil .
