Generator mounting bolt question
I just removed the generator from my 29 Tudor. The mounting bolt on the bottom was inserted from the rear with the nut & lock washer on the front side. I see Les Andrews' book shows the nut & lock washer on the back side toward the fire wall. What is the correct installation? I tried to find an answer in the "Judging Standard" book with no luck.
The generator repair shop bench tested the generator and it wouldn't even put out 6 volts. They are going to tear into it today and give me the verdict. Smitty |

Re: Generator mounting bolt question
Lock washer and nut should be on the rear side.

Re: Generator mounting bolt question
obviously the washer and nut on the rear makes it easier to work on. Wayne.

Re: Generator mounting bolt question
FWIW, I just R&R'd the generator on our '31 and if the nut and lockwasher were on the front the belt would be rubbing hard on the nut.

Re: Generator mounting bolt question
Somehow I lucked out. No damage to the fan belt I can see. Turns out the armature & field coils were bad in the generator and they told me the cut out was also bad. Hopefully, I'll have everything back in "Martha" by the middle of next week and I will make sure the nut & washer are on the back side of the mounting bolt. Thanks for all of your input. Smitty

Smit
Put the cut out on one of your other cars in the fleet. I prefer them over the original style for durability ,,no moving parts .. |
