squonk 41,820 #2 Posted July 29, 2018 Could just be bearings. I think they are common 6203's. Is there an auto electric shop near you that could check it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdhdcouple 133 #7 Posted August 3, 2018 Well every one, it lives again. I would like to thanks wheelhoresman. I bought the exact item you took your time to copy and paste for me and she lives again. I got the item yesterday i believe, took the generator of and took it apart cleaned it all up, put the new parts in and she started right off and mowed her 2 1/2 acres. 51 years and counted and thanks oldman for offering up one if i couldn't fix mine. I know i am not on here a lot because of my job, but all you guys are great every time i have a question you guys are here And it was the bearing close to the pully it gave out. seized to the shaft. I had to cut it of real careful like with the drimmel. a little emery cloth on the shaft and the new bearings went right on. Judging by the looks of it those were the factory parts. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdhdcouple 133 #9 Posted August 7, 2018 i am positive, when i took it apart the bearing had seized to the shaft. the bearing had got so hot it burned the grease and the rubber part of the bearing. lucky it was the front seal ( by the pulley) it sits in it's own little housing. didn't burn anything else 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
