Powerhouse Generator Question

[Gary Karr]

I am rebuilding a powerhouse generator and am looking for the larger front bearing. Does anyone know a source for those? Thanks.

I did mine about a year ago. They're standard metric bearings available at any local bearing supplier. Replace them both with the modern sealed, permanently lubricated ones. Should be under $10 for the set:

Front: 6204-2RS
Rear: 6203-2RS

Gary,

All the 5 Brush I have rebuilt I have used the sealed bearings; armature and interior stay nice and clean. I'm even running one one my Feb. 29 Roadster which I drive a fair amount. If you need any parts, except armature, let me know.

Without going to the basement to confirm it, I think the bearing is a #204, which Bratton's and most all parts houses should have. I can buy them local at the bearing store.
