Generator With a Small Pulley
Here is the generator I bought yesterday at the swap meet. It has a 2 1/2" pulley instead of the standard 3 3/4" pulley, so it will spin 50% faster.
I wonder if it was used on some special machine, or maybe like my late uncle, (a very slow driver) wanted to keep his lights and battery working at idle. It would sure make slipping the belt on easy. |

Re: Generator With a Small Pulley
The Model B pulley was smaller than the Model A pulley but definitely not as small as yours. You have to use a tape measure to tell the difference between a Model A and a Model B pulley.
