I'm in the shake down period in the restoration of my 1938 Tonner. I found that I need to replace the generator cutout. It's a 3 brush, 6-volt generator. The Green Book tells me that the number of the cutout is B-10505. I'm looking for NOS, not a new style solid state unit. Any ideas where I could look? I've tried the Internet the usual suppliers. Pretty much what I've been finding is foreign made, and that's not what I'm looking for.
 
There will come a time when the original ones become unobtanium. A decent original could be rebuilt but I don't know of anyone that advertises repairs without looking into it. If a man made it then a man with the right materials, tools, & skill set can repair it. They are basically just a holding coil that is activated by the residual magnetism in the generator pole shoes.
 
On mine I put a diode in original case ---- I bought several for less than 5$ , and they came wit a generator ---- usually i get them at Hershey
 
Check with Third Gen Auto, Mike Driskell. He would have an original round Ford one. Regards, Kevin.
 
if you plan to actually use the truck, a new one that is a regulator, not a cut out, from fun projects is the way to go. made in usa, even have ford script and look identical
