Powerhouse Generator A friend bought a '28 Phaeton with a powerhouse generator. The other day he asked how to oil it. Told him my 1930 has oilers on the front and back but didn't know anything about the powerhouse. We can't find anything about this. Maybe this is why Henry gave up on the powerhouse?

Re: Powerhouse Generator There are no oilers on a Powerhouse. To service you must disassemble and physically grease the bearings within.
A little time consuming but not that bad. Pluck |

THE MODEL A ENGINE, DISTRIBUTOR AND OIL PUMP: By Paul and William McRee, 2002. THE MODEL A GENERATOR, STARTER, CUTOUT AND STARTER SWITCH: By Paul and William McRee, 2002. Both of the above booklets are a must if you plan on doing your own restoration of the Model A/ AA Ford engine, distributor, oil pump, generator, starter, cutout and starter switch. Filled with technical information and photos. Pluck |
Re: Powerhouse Generator The Model A Ford Restoration and Maintenance Handbook Volume two by Paul Moller has some good information on these early generators. There are two ball bearings inside and the replacements being sold by some of the vendors are sealed. You may want to check the brushes as both five and three brush units were used. The commutator should also be checked.

Re: Powerhouse Generator Thanks for the book recommendations - both seem to be out of print.
