Fan Mount Generator Pulley for a Late Generator?

[NealinCA]

Well I think I found the missing link that I didn't even know existed.

I was trying to figure out a way to run a generator mounted fan on an 8BA in my 32 sedan. I did a lot of machine work to put a 32 style pulley on the 57-64 12V generator that is on the 59A in my 32 pickup. I didn't want to go through that again. Then I found this pulley. It is marked "2 BRUSH TO-3 NOS". It is the larger bore and internally threaded like a 40-48 pulley. I assume it was used to put a later 2-brush generator on an early car that needed a fan on the generator. Casting number is W383.

It threads right on the front of a 57-64 12V generator...no machine work required. Problem solved.

So...was this a Ford part, or aftermarket?

Thanks,

Neal

Neal,

If it is not a Ford part (from the casting number) then it is an aftermarket duplicate of a Ford part. I am not sure (and hope someone will correct me) but I think it is a '39 standard. I am using one on my '37 with a 2 brush generator. They were hard to find for years but it is my understanding that someone is now making a repro.

Charlie - My brother was thinking '39...so that could be it. I am glad I stumbled upon this...it should make the 8BA in a 32 go smoother.

Neal,

Another trivia trick that you may already know is the intake manifold from a '37 (and a couple of years later) has the low mount for the generator and keeps the fan from hitting the hoses in a '32. I don't know what it would take to put one on a 8BA but keep it in mind.

38 and 39 standard original,Hard to find. I've got an old reproduction on my 36 thats aluminum made by Dart in Jacksonville Fl.

39 pick ups had the fan on the 2 brush generator and used that pulley. G.M.
