Thanks Tom. I think he's enjoying fooling around with this thing more than I am. The only thing that concerned him was the availability of the armature if it's bad so I will check out the vendors. In the long run I think a rebuild here will still be less $$ than the cost and shipping a good...

Just talked to the fella from the electric shop today and he showed me what happened. Somehow there was to much end play in the armature shaft. the part where the brushes ride on (commutator) rubbed into the back cover and shorted out. you can see the burn marks on the inside of the cover. He is...

Ok thanks. I'm just sorting out any possible electrical issues while waiting for my generator rebuild. I get a small spark when attaching the negative cable to the battery and thought it could be something behind the instrument panel.

I didn't want to start a whole new thread so here we go. I pulled the gauge cluster today and noticed that my instrument cluster circuit breaker is not hooked up but all of the gauges and panel lights work. So could this be the reason behind my charging system issues?

?? Full fielding? I did polarize the generator per the TM and nothing. I didn't see anything "full field'. Is this the same thing.

Generator putting out 0.00 on the multimeter. Guess its toast. Looks like I'll be having that rebuilt plus a new solid state voltage regulator $$$$. I would like to talk to the previous owner and find out what he did to kill the charging system on this truck. He told me when I purchased it that...

Yeah it looks heavy. Got the test adapters today, thanks again. I'm going to run a test on the genny tonight and keep my fingers crossed. I pulled the voltage regulator yesterday and cleaned the contact points and ground cables. After pulling the cover off the VR, it smelled like it had been...

Do I have to remove the whole front fender to get my generator out? Even with the panel above the fender removed,I can't access the two inner nuts on the bottom mounting bolts. Can't get to them underneath either because of the shield/splash guard. Am I missing something simple? One would think...

Thats what I would think. I just need to map out which pin is is what, looks like this is my only choice. The test kits must be rare as hens teeth.

just me I sent you a pm.

So can anyone tell me if you can polarize the 3 pin generator without this tool?

just me, I will purchase this off you if you are willing to sell. PM me if you are interested.

Hello. I just purchased a restored 1952 M37. The previous owner had the entire engine and electrical system rebuilt, factory 24 volt system. Currently, the GEN/Batt gauge only registers @ the top of the yellow so my assumption is that the Generator is not charging. I have the TM 9-8030 and from...
