howdy spank! got a start tonight. generator is an s.o.b. to get at. had a coolant leak so i figured i'll go through the front to change it, and check to radiator at the same time. somebody put a brand new radiator in the thing--then forgot to tighten the top clamps. not sweatin' the radiator thing as there's plenty of farm dirt and alittle rust to treat. it's pretty obvious g.m. did alot of "punting" when they built these things. everything is hard to get at. conventional cab guys got it easy.
after checking out 2 generators i have had laying around for awile, and finding them both not in the best of shape, and 40 bucks for a replacement regulator i bought an alternator with an internal regulator. looks like the shaft is the same size as the 6 volt generator so i don't have to mc giver the pulley, just change it.
it's been too long since i had a project to keep my mind and body busy. good to be gettin' dirty again!
more progress notes as i make some progress.
