The thin nut and lock washer was used with a keyed pulley, as shown in the exploded diagram above, not the threaded pulley.

Re: Pully came off generator shaft

I rebuild a lot of these generators. That is a thin nut, I would NOT use an impact wrench, there is a good chance of stripping it. Loctite - yes.

Re: Auction results in Varina Va.

I need to service, adjust and test the cutout first. I want to make sure it works properly first. If I can get it done in time. I'll bring it to Luray on Thursday.

Re: 6 Volt heater motor rebuild

I'm no expert on Hadees heaters, but I did restore one 6 or 7 years ago. Here are a couple other similar badges that say Hadees Heater on them.

Last year Brattons set up at Luray. You could pre-order online and they brought the order to Luray. That was nice to save the shipping. I just called to see if they were doing it again - the answer...

Re: Generator and Fan

I don't know, I'm not an engineer :D

Re: Generator and Fan

Yes, V8 60 has a smaller crank and generator pulley. I looked through my spare pulleys and found one V8 60 pulley. They are hard to find and identify. There are two, maybe three different V8 60...

Is there some easy trick to enlarging them ourselves so you don't have to? What you do is much appreciated, but if I could easily do it myself, I would. Thanks.

Re: What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?

I took Miss Daisy out for a Sunday drive. The new Electronic Voltage Regulator I installed inside the generator continues to work perfectly.

I just followed the greyhound wherever he led :)
