Thanks 👍👍

Yep fat fingers typed LF for left front of motor. Lol

Mine marked LB by intake

Thanks Pete

Thanks a bunch for recognizing that wire up under fields. Did what you recommended and actually had to turn down amperage. Slid the brush up a bit now charging at 10 amps. It was as high as 30amp. More than i thought a 3 brush would do. Nu Rex cut off and it should last a bit. Thanks Steve

Well took your advice. New wires on fields. Beedblasted. New brushes new bearings. New wiring. Hopefully its works for the old 32.

Well you were so correct. The bolt / screw for field was stripped so last guy couldn’t figure it out. Welded nut and kept air on field. Got bolt out and wire under field. Thank you so much. It just didn’t look correct. If i could have gone to hershey this would have been your core lol

Thanks I’ll pull fields. I touched up wires to just let me run local for wedding and a 90th b day party for friend. It was even worse. It will go to a pro after turkey day. I did solder new ends on wires and heat shrink for now.Thanks for the help.

4 wires out of 2 fields ( other than the common one that links the 2) Just doesn’t look correct to me. Haven’t done a generator in a long while. Have 2 left wires. Top field to right is grounded. Left field is power to cut out. Right brush is grounded. So far ��. Dont laugh it was even...

Hey does anybody have a diagram for field and brush wires inside a 36 ford 3 brush. I haven’t done one in a lot of years. Just cleaned up armature on lathe. New brushes but who ever was in it last time made a mess. Field wires rubbing arm. Wire to cut out bare and close to shorting out...

Very nice…

After you have driven a t5 100-400,000 miles or 2,000 miles you’ll never go backwards. Kinda a reason it’s so popular. 90% of the haters won’t even know you have it as they can’t see it lol

Unfortunately your not the first to find out its better to buy an rust free or very good car to start. The good deal is never a good deal unless you’re an accomplished welder . Also doesn’t hurt to be 35-40 years old with no kids or family . I have turned so many rust jobs away because i know...

Yes the ratter the more people flock to a vehicle. My poor 54 Ad beat to c r a p last 40 years and almost 400k gets crowds. It’s nothing special and its just a beat up ole truck with t-5 235 . Sectioned frame. I don’t know the alure .Its certainly not a survivor. But after i put the t -5 in...

The early t5 has mechanical speedometers so it easier…. S10 box puts shifter in a good location. Probably need to go open driveshaft. Do an internet search as its been done many times. I have used them since the first s10 was wrecked in my area. Its great swap and drivability is excellent...
