Hello from Ontario, Canada! Wanted to thank you very much for making this video. It was my guide to troubleshoot my generator and help with reassembly. Greatly appreciated. Also appreciate all of the other excellent content you have curated. It will sure help me keep the old Touring car on the road!
You mention the setting the generator to the neutral position by moving the brush plate to make the shaft have a tendency to go clockwise. Clock wise from your point of view from behind the generator … or for us viewers?
Thanks, Mike and Nick, Just tested my generator, and I think I have a wire in the wrong place, check it with a 6v Bat and she did not move So back to the video.
great video ..thank you for the information just to understand well to adjust the generator when the light are on i have to adjust to 0 amp or i have to adjust to 3 amp when is on ..thank you
Great catch ! You are correct a there is a really good story that goes along with all of it!!! See you at the NW Corner of the North building at Chickasha! Bill
I have watched the video several times. I recently purchased a used generator that I want to rebuild. I have taken it apart and have found two thin washers (.015 each) that I assume are shims to eliminate endplay as discussed in the video. The thing that is confusing me is that these washers or shims were located on the armature shaft between the “big” bearing and the armature. In the video I thought it said to place shims between the back “small” bearing and the end cap. When shims are installed do they just float in the end cap or do they go on before the small bearing? I am confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you guys take on work for folks that don’t have the tools to rebuild these starters/generators? I’m interested in purchasing a Model T…. Right now we have a 1927 Buick Standard but want to add a T and an A to the flock!
Thanks for taking time to comment. I think you can find a good starter/generator shop near by that could help with a rebuild. Good luck locating your new T.
Larry, thanks for your question. I have sent an email to Nick to see if he has a suggested way of testing the generator before installing it in a car. I will get back to you when I hear from him.
Nick said: We set the output at 1.5 amps. If you drive at night turn on your lights and set at a small charge rate. Just so the needle shows a + charge rate.

Great video. I wonder how many caught that you had to remove the field coils and move them in reassembly?

I was trying to find out what solvent is safe for cleaning the armature and field coils. I don't have a solvent tank. Thanks for the great video.
Mineral Spirits works for us.
Thanks for your question and commitment.
Thanks friends

What did you use as a load when using your generator tester?
Larry, thanks for your question. I have sent an email to Nick to see if he has a suggested way of testing the generator before installing it in a car. I will get back to you when I hear from him.

Sorry, and you have to have a resistor to create the load.
I thought that Model Ts had magnetos rather than generators.
They have both.
Nothing to do with the video but what version of Toot Toot Tootsie is that? lol
