Actually the outlet hole on the generator backing plate has to point to the bottom. Looks like this generator was replaced previously and they installed it wrong.
Working on mine right now although mine is an older generator with just two wires hanging out not the two post on top. I would like to test bench it with a 12v battery just briefly to see if it spins or not. the 2 wires are not marked but one wire is smaller than the other. I believe the small one is for the warning light and the other is the positive. Both connect to the aftermarket regulator. left post shows FLD and the Rh post shows 61 the back post shows B+ which I know the battery power goes to if it was in a car and to the starter solenoid. I have it all tore down right now to clean it but when I get it back together, I'd like to test it for spin and how many volts it's putting out with the regulator hooked up? any help would be appreciated. watching video after video but all I have seen so far is ones with two post which should be DF and D+
I’ve never had a 6 volt car. I wouldn’t know. I think there is information about 6volt generators in the book, but I’ve never read it. So….i don’t know.
after I got it back together tested it with a 6v charger to see if it would spin but nothing. I hooked it up to spin it with my drill and got over 6 volts which the book states and that's good at 1500 RPM. So looks like it should be good. will test it again when I get it running with a battery and test it to see if it's charging?
@@TimsWorkshopTJY A 6 volt battery charger isn't a battery. It's highly possible that the gen. needs more amps, like from an actual battery to make it spin. I've also saw where those "smart" chargers don't produce unless the feel the load of a battery. Sounds good....lemme know if it works.
Thanks for responding back, kinda what I thought on the charger but I don't currently have a good 6v battery and don't want to use a 12v on a 6v system. I think I will get a good 6v battery just for testing these old motors
When taking the crank gears off was thinking since you heat them to put them on can you heat them to remove them? Will take a little extra time with a propane torch but seems like it would work. Let me know if it's doable or not. Thanks Tim
Ohhh…without the puller? Sorry, I didn’t read this correctly….Oh no… even with heat it’s almost impossible. And you will possibly mar up the gear. That puller they developed works great.

that would have been me....ha,ha,ha

Thoroughly enjoyed the video! Looking forward to part 2.
coming......
@@OkFixer Just wondering! How do you keep yourself motivated... to finishing your projects!
@@johnfreeman1189 cocaine........ha,ha,ha
@@OkFixer OK, that sounds like are generation!!!
The Outlet to the fan should go to the bottom!
yes sir....got that coming in the next video. I learn new things every time I work on this car......and I've had 6 now so far.

Sure, you can heat them to take them off….probably a good idea.
that's what I was thinking. don't need another tool just heat. haha

Ok, thought I would ask before buying one
should all generators have that wavy washer inside? i took mine apart and didn't see it at all? i have a 1960 as well
I don't know.... im sure a 6 volt generator is different in some ways.
always good to replace the wheel bearings when you do a rebuild.

I'm a mechanic of over 50 years and I hate those screwdrivers ,, give me solid plastic handles ,, like snap-on and mac tools use to make !!!!!!
yeah, I like those al$$$$o....I just thought these had a lot going for them for the price.

Thank you
