Default Re: 1947 Ford Super Deluxe Generator getting hot

sometimes a sulfate'd battery will give false readings but sometimes it will be internal
grounded causing the generator to max out and heat up>thats a maybe. Mine got hot
and it was bad bearing mainly the front one that takes the beating. I replaced that one
I think the bearing is the same as clutch pilot bearing. Heat does travel so the whole
thing gets hot. I myself has no luck with these new junk batterys. We have about 60
junk batterys all turned to junk when the date expired. They all will be gone for Christmas money........
