If the cans hold fluid and have a top/lid and are in relatively good shape I'll take one. Bring to breakfast and I'll hit you up then. I'm just looking to fill the hole for looks and maybe hold some water in the event someone overheats.
Thanks everyone for the replies, especially SteelandCanvas for the research and part info. I just ordered the part from Mauser Electronics ($4.69). If replacing this part makes this a working generator I will be very happy. :-P
Not sure what caused it to burn out. Looked like the end or interior degraded and the end cap worked its way off stretching the wire, however what would cause that I don't know unless it was faulty craftsmanship on initial install and they just soldred it poorly pulling on the end causing it to...
Google is a wonderful tool. Says it's a 50W resistor. Cost, about $10.00. Now that would be pretty good if I fixed this gem of a generator for $10.00 :-o
Last year my generator crapped out and I replaced it with one of the Wolverine Technology single wire alternators from Avengeusa which has been working great ever since. Figured I would take the old one apart and fool around with it to see what makes these things tick and maybe even repair it...
Great to see new faces and meet others in the hobby and nice to be able to put faces with avatars/screen names. Had a great time! I think M816Someday is gonna post a pic of the trucks in the lot. If this thing keeps growing would be nice to convoy somewhere like Aberdeen or Antietam to hit...
Is there supposed to be a gasket or O-ring there? I'm not sure if mine has one or not now that you mention that. Doesn't it just have thread sealant on it?
I priced it at NAPA, and yes WOW. $26 a quart. I just replaced all of my brakes and wheel cylinders. The fluid that came out was yellow like yours. The fluid I put back in was purple. I mixed some of the two together in a jar just to be safe and they mix, do not separate and are the...
It's probably a sprag transfer which has no levers. It locks automatically when the rear wheels/drive shaft starts spinning faster than the front wheels/drive shaft at which time it is supposed to engage automatically. Do a search for "sprag" and you will get all kinds of good info on this...
It has been over a week now since I last had to add brake fluid and now the level is staying constant. Still no evidence of any exterior leaking and the fluid loss has now stopped. Total brake fluid loss was a little over 9 oz. total. It is now holding a steady fill level. I am going to...
I also checked with a radiator shop to see if they could repair/recore prior to buying new. The gentleman said it could be $550-$750 if nothing major had to be done, but said once he got to checking it if there were several leaks or the inside had a lot of weak/thin spots making a rebuild...
My radiator also had a small leak, but my radiator has many issues. The tube that attaches to the neck rusted out at the filler neck connection and when it wants to get to its happy level it blows fluid out the rusted hole and all over the driver side of the engine compartment. Big mess! And...
