Maxwell-8 4,270 #26 Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I put everything back together gave it some paint. Brushes looked like they had just some more life in them. couldn't find a part number so I assembled everything after a good internal clean and grease. Looks good, but still isn't like it should be, turns faster but still doesn't has the needed power even if I put direct power to it (cleaned surfaces). I guess the brushes still need to get replaced, everything else looked fine. Edited October 3, 2021 by Maxwell-8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cleaning and polishing the copper was all that was needed. All the dust from the brushes were conductive I guess. Back in Business and now his generator is nicely painted, He might start to restore his Tractor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
