Rather normal. Could have gotten there after someone pressure washed the set. Nothing to worry about. Good news is no oil. Oil, rear main. Always good for a work out!
See lots of dirt! And wires hanging all over the place! That white thing on the bottom a large paint flake? Tape hanging down...

A good picture is on PDF reader page #584, of the 643-24 TM

Long bolt on the right side is there to prop up the main gen, when you do the engine removal. You can put a block of wood or something metal under it, turn the bolt down and support the main gen. Look at it. If you pulled just the engine, the main gen would topple forwards.

😂 😂 😂 😂 I am not talking about my time in the Army. I am talking about my time as a contractor. And, I have to admit, the Army has come a LONG ways since the 70's. You ever worked where light were a real treat? And you had to wear rubber boots 3/4 of the year due to mud? These are pictures of a...
No. But it is one way. The lifting rig is the easiest way. It still makes me wonder why it came that way. We always received them in one piece. Slide it in. Put the 6 or 8 bolts in the flex plate and tighten them hand tight. Put the 6-8 bolts in all the way around the bell housing , torque em...

The TM tells you to replace the lock washers...
I normally used an impact wrench to remove the fasteners. I only used a torque wrench to do Turbine gen sets. But would say you can use a torque wrench putting fasteners back on. In the military, we always had VERY good torque wrenchs. Snapon, for instance. After my stink as a contractor, that...
