6v generator Empty 6v generator

Post by zabo Thu Jul 30, 2009 10:01 am

So i started hearing a high pitched whining from my engine- pulled the fan belt to check the generator and there was a good bit of play in the shaft that connects to the fan.

Does anybody know of a local shop tht can refurbish these or replace the bearings? Or have an idea on how much tht would cost.

Looking online and the cheapest i see is $109.00-not tht bad but im low on funds now and need a new 28 pict carb as well. Neutral

I got a Worldwide brand generator from Advanced and I have had no issues. Come with a two year warranty so worst case, you can replace it every two. They also sell the bearings. The gen is 55 bucks.

These guys were going to rebuild the alt. for my Caddy, but it was as cheap to get a new one...seem to be good guys and is the kind of place where they've been there since the Model-T...I'd give them a call for parts or rebuilding it.

I have another source I can call tomorrow if you have no luck. PM me.

Man, I'm sorry, they are 30pict-1. You probably have no use for them.
