The Ford Barn

My research material is somewhat limited and I am asking for help on my newly acquired 1939 60HP engine which is missing only the generator. Also, please forgive me if I have asked this exact question in one of my previous posts. I have developed a cronic case of CRAFT.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the generators for 85HP and 60HP are the same? I THINK they are but I believe the pulley for the 60HP to be different from the pulley on the 39 Standard which also had a fan mounted on the generator as well.

I have established to my satisfaction that the fan blade on the 60HP has a 2" hub, but what about the diameter.

Woops. My bad. Diameter of the fan blades, i.e. the diameter of the circle the fan blades make when rotating.

I just looked in my copy of the 1940 chassis parts book and the 1938 car and 1939 standard 60 hp and 85 hp fans are the same.
Checked the Green Book and it gives a description: "4 blades 15 3/4" diameter, front of blade to rear of hub 3".
