project generator
Anybody considering restoring their own generator it's really not that hard at all.
This was my first attempt at disassembling, cleaning, painting and reassembling of a 043 generator for the first time. This is not a how to, just a collection of pictures that might help someone in the future.
One of the leads was broken off
Cleaned up using 1000 grit sandpaper
This way up
I replaced the field coils with a set that I removed from another generator because the lead was broken off and too short
Cleaned up with new bearing installed
Starting to go back together with new bearing installed
Blasted all the old paint off
Case was painted semi flat black
New brushes
Pulley was painted semi gloss black
End cover painted gloss black
New bearings installed, ready for assembly
I had to heliecoil the adjustment bolt hole
New tag with correct rivets
All put back together
