John, I don't need the tranmission back. You could pull your reduction housing off and put it on this one and keep your serial number with your 63.

Well, I've got the S/G somewhat apart. The pulley end came apart easily (though the Woodruff key took some PB, the brass hammer and overnight soaking) , the brush end is different. Should the end cap at the brush end slide off, or do I need to remove that "freeze plug" looking thing and remove something to get that end cover to slide off the armature shaft?

I can see the brushes in there. The bearing on the pulley end feels like a washboard....

Thanks for any hints...

Keep in mind this thing WORKED, it just sounded like marbles in a tin can!

Default Well...

If I can figure out how to remove the armature end of the housing, I'll be well on my way. Bearings are on order, I can turn the armature on my small lathe I think... but, I need to find out why the end casting at the armature end won't release from the end of the shaft.

The delco manual I found has a drawing, but in the instruction section says "disassemble the generator".

Hmmm....




If I stare at the cross sectional drawing long enough I'll get there. The brush holders are still riveted in, so I guess it's all original. Darned cheap Delco units, can't even get 50 years of service out of 'em :-)

John

Well, it's been a while... life, cold weather, cold virus, and sloth has gotten in the way.

Anyway, back to it. Here's the armature after a bit of clean up , and the housing before changing bearings and brushes or cleaning.

Hopefully I'll get it back together today ... we'll see how it goes!

Default Back together.

Well, I got the brushes in and the thing back together. It's cleaner than it was though it's far from perfect. All the loose rust and gunk is gone.

You can see by the 2nd photo that the new (sealed) bearings are in a bit better shape than the originals

The 3rd photo was a puzzler. This is a bearing cover that screws into one of the end housings. There's a paper gasket that I fabricated to replace the 50 year old original. The bearing cover has a grooved area that sure looks like an o-ring or felt fit in there. There was no sign of one, but that recess has to be there for a reason. I found an oring that fit perfectly and kind of seals between the spacer and the shaft. Dunno what actually went in there but there had to be something to keep the grease from slinging into the armature area from the bearing recess.

Now stripping the outside for paint and we'll give it a smoke test.

John

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
