Ford generator model 79
Can anyone tell me about a ford generator model 79? What years was it produced, what vehicles does it go on and what's the difference between it and other same era generators? Anyone have a pix? Thanks!

The 79 generator has three brushes and a two-sheave pulley. Originally on 37-39 trucks.

Re: Ford generator model 79
I understood them to be heavier duty. Do you think it would work on a '35 1 1/2 ton pickup with a single belt/pulls?

Re: Ford generator model 79
The '79' generator has the larger dia shaft so uses the later pulley with the large bore and key, not the '40 style thread-on pulley though. I'm using a "79" type generator with a '39 single groove pulley on a '41 era engine with good setup results. Good Luck Paul
