M35A2 Generator

[cavtrooper78]

Hey guys.

Does anyone know where in the TMs is the task to rebuild the generator? I think mine is bad. It’s killing my batteries. When I was on active duty those things had to go to the depo more times than I can remember.

I’m not sure is that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t see anything that matches what I have.

There are separate TM' for the Generator. What is the model number for your Generator?

unfortunately I can’t find a data plate.

Have you looked here? What is the exact model number and NSN from the truck?

The be been on Jatonka’s site and downloaded most of the TMs, but it’s been probably since 1998 that I worked on one of these so I’m having trouble nailing down what TM goes with what.

That is a Prestolite 5717244. Erik's Surplus has regulators for it.

do rebuild kits exist? I seem to remember breaking them down and changing out brushes and going through the whole thing

Ah. Ok. I really appreciated you posting that link I just didn’t see what I was looking for during my cursory check. If I call them can they help me put together a kit or something?

That would be my suggestion. They are one of very few outfits that deal with these old 60 amp generators.

If ?? you have access or the capability to do a little welding and metal fabrication
I would just by a 24 volt “one wire “ alternator. $95-125 Amazon.
Easy peasy. And depending on your powerplant ( cat C-7 etc.) there might
be a bracket that you could order or do some looking at a truck salvage Yard?

And were you at in Oklahoma? We’re in Tulsa

I was up by Enid, but we just bought a house down south of Duncan.

I’ve done some welding, but nothing on an engine yet. Just simple field expedient stuff in the army. I’m not a pro by any measure. I’d definitely give it a shot though. Never afraid to do that

Should you want to replace the generator with the original configuration, I can post it. If not, take care and be safe.

as a post in the parts wanted section?

Ideally I’d like to do a rebuild.

I took a look at the TM's and FEDLOG, under Prestolite 5717244. There is no record of that model. Plenty in the net, but nothing in FEDLOG or the TM. Perhaps this was installed at some point in time, because its will work right? The number seems to be associated with the HMMWV. If this is in fact a 5717244, and you want to fix it, then perhaps Southern Automotive your best bet.

I looked at TM 9-2320-361-20P, Figure 44, Item 10. It showed the Generator for your model truck, (M109-A3, 2320-00-077-1636, UOC BMJ) as: Part # 10929868. That becomes NSN: 2920-00-909-2483, Model: Prestolite AMA-5102UT. The TM tells you to go to TM 9-2320-225-34 for Repair/Testing. This is one of these TM's that covers a bunch of different generators. It refers you to TM 9-2320-225-34P for parts listing. This is whats supposed to be in it, but I guess it would depend on availability and cost.
