What generator do I have?
Stamped 8BA-D. I think this is the date code A-1-1, correct? Has two brushes and a field, ground and armeture connection.
Second part of the question . Can I install a generator fan mounted pulley on it? |

Re: What generator do I have?
The "8BA-D" identifies it as to type, not date. This is a common 35 amp, 6 volt unit used on both V8 and 6 cyl from 48 thru 51. To run a fan off the front, you need to modify the existing pulley. None of the early (pre-1940) fan-mount pulleys are very suitable for use with the late generators because of differences in front plates and armatures.

Re: What generator do I have?
40 to 48 generator pulleys mount to the armature shaft in a different way than the 49 -53 pulleys. The 40-48 have internal threads, thread onto the armature shaft and are retained by a snap ring. The 49-53 are not threaded, but have a Woodruff key and are retained by a lockwasher and nut (more or less the same as the pre-39 generators). Also, the 40-48 pulleys are not fan-drive.
To modify the existing 49-53 pulley to drive a fan, a fan mounting piece has to be fabricated and welded to the pulley. PM me for more details on this modification.

Re: What generator do I have?
I'm running a stock Ford pulley -with a fan- on a 12V (1956 up) armature... All stock Ford parts, found at swap meets. So, it's possible. The pulleys I've used thread on...
I would be hard pressed to speak to the exact parentage of the parts, though. Karl |
