The last press I ran had 8 units, 2 roll stands, 2 folders, all the gears inside each unit, folder etc. Well over 1000 of them Bast@&$ on the whole press.
I FREAKING HATE THEM  Sorry about that, I feel your pain.  Now keep us posted, and  with your project. |
Yep, I replaced the broken soldered screw terminal on the S/G and it seemed to be working fine...just before I decided to tear into the engine
Once I get the engine running again I'll check again to make sure that the S/G is still charging. I still plan to go through it at a later date, probably by having a local alt shop machine down the commutator and all that.
Replacing the terminal wasn't all that hard, really - just stripped some new insulation off the wire, wrapped the wire around the new terminal post through the center slot, heated up the pair with a torch, and stabbed some solder into it. Time will tell if it holds up, I suppose
