Generator Fix

The frame didn't want to slip on so I pulled it from the vise and after cleaning the pin and hole, I gently tapped the end bell on with a small rubber mallet.

Meth-amphetamine addicts: STOP NOW.  Take generator to qualified service personnel.  It will never occur to you that the 2 pound sledge is not appropriate for generator work, but it is.  Honest.
The brush plate should have enough wire to slip on after the frame and end-bell are assembled.  Otherwise you may have to remove the wire or assemble the frame to the end-bell with the brush plate in place.  See next step for getting the brushes over the armature.  Remember the little slot in the plate and the pin in the frame have to line up.

Meth-amphetamine addicts: STOP NOW.  Take generator to qualified service personnel.  You will break wire or mange to get plate installed backwards.

I dried off the brushes and slipped them back in the holders.  You can use two hands because you aren't taking a picture at the same time.

Meth-amphetamine addicts: STOP NOW.  Take generator to qualified service personnel.  This is hard to do for straight people and winos.  Doing while shaking uncontrollably and hallucinating is virtually impossible.

Authoring: This site is created with the free composer program that comes with Netscape.  We are using 4.7 since rev 6 will not start on our Win2k box.  (Some coincidence that the latest Microsoft OS breaks Netscape huh?)
