Anyone Recognize this Generator
Picked this up with some T parts. The cutout is stamped Ford, but the generator has no markings that I can find. The interesting part is no bearing on the commutator end, must all be on the pulley end. Cover comes off easily for 3rd brush adjustment. Maybe some early Model T accessory? Thanks, Bill

Re: Anyone Recognize this Generator
I think used on the first year of model A production. They changed from 3 brush to 5 brush at some point( or visyversy ) I like them, and love the name!

Wow, that was fast, thanks guys! I've seen a few model A generators, just wasn't aware of this early design.

Re: Anyone Recognize this Generator
The early ones were 5 brush, this is 3 so is the later. Into 1929.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!
