Harley Davidson Model 65A two brush Generator, a seized up mess, Can we get it to work again?

In this video we take a seized up model 65A generator clean it up and hope for the best, First off we start by disassembling it, cleaning it up and then reassemble it. We then test the generator, seeing if will work again or will it need parts. If it works, we can then repaint it and put it on a shelf for later use someday. Will it work again? Watch and see what happens.

Thank you for posting this video. Detailed rebuilding and testing are great. It is very good seeing these original Harley generators saved again.

I'd like to see you test the field coils. Also, what the ohms reading should be on the coils. I liked your electrical testing of the armature. Thank you.

Well this video may look familiar it was uploaded once already but I had to take it down a subscriber informed me that there was a problem with the other one and the only way I could fix it was to delete the other one and upload it again,
