This uses the extra large bearing to carry the fan load, not the standard 2-brush bearing. I just had it running on the test bench this morning, putting out over 30 amps :-)

I'll be bringing it to Hershey in less than 2 weeks. It will be for sale on my table along with other restored generators. If you are there, stop by and say hi. South chocolate CJ 71-73.

Do tell what the "larger front bearing was used". The .590 shaft from 32-36 use two tapered roller bearings for fan use and needed lubrication. I couldn't find a tapered roller used in pairs for the later, larger .669 diameter shaft. I took apart my '41 generator, and removed the single roller bearing. The pocket size to work with is 40mmx 14mm, shaft size 17mm. I have this one coming, should fit right in, whether I use a fan or not, its good for radial loads from the belt.
