Which way would you go?

$180 is fair is they do a good job... The thing I hate about most rebuilt generators is theyt simply spray paint them.. I HATE pitting with a passion. Last week I rebuilt my first generator. I did it my self only so that I could learn, and use good paint and fill in any pitting. It is the generator on the engine below. Maybe you could try it yourself? It is always fun to learn new hands on things.

Yet another reason to like you. A young guy that actually repairs things himself! And, does so correctly!
Mike, you make me proud to know ya...
 
Nice looking work. Wish more people did their own. If nothing else it would increase their knowledge and pride along with decreasing their cost. It don't take much skill to write a check and bolt on a new or rebuilt part a week later. Rod
 
I found that the problem in rebuilding was getting the rear bushing in an oversize bushing . Starters will drag if shaft is wore. My job was rebuilding in a shop in KC. before alternators . your ok with generators if you have rear bearing. Back in the day you could get the oversize.
