Default Re: Charging System Will Not Work Under A Load

It is surely not a 32 Generator unless somebody changed the front of it - as a 32 had a post mount, not a T-Slot mount like all other years (except maybe some early 33 production).

But, as noted - it could easily be a combination of parts - which doesn't make it a bad thing. On my 33-34 generator (which I ran on my 32 for a few years), it would keep the battery charged just fine - as long as I was running original style bulbs in the headlights. When I switched over to Halogen bulbs (mine draw 25 amps or so), I then had the generator reworked by E.J. Whitney to put a new "alternator" based center section in it. It really looks the part of an early generator (even has a "cut out" on top), and is designed for 6V operation and higher AMP output. It handles the increased load of my halogen lights just fine.

Note: This is an expensive conversion, but one that I'm totally satisfied with:
