So I'm starting to consider rebuilding the generator. I've lived with it not working (tried re-polarizing, etc) but it's starting to bug me more. What's the best way to deal with the power steering pump? Do you just unbolt it from the back and leave it in place, or so you have to remove it's lines, plug them, and take it off with the generator? ------------- 1957 D17 Diesel w/ M&W Pistons |

Just unbolt the PS pump from the back. There is a splined coupling that drives the pump. ------------- 1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift. Gleaner A |

That's what I'd hoped, so there's enough give in the hardlines to get it off? ------------- 1957 D17 Diesel w/ M&W Pistons |

Yes, there is enough room to remove the generator without disconnecting the P/S pump hoses. There's even enough room to do it with the Chevy generator. You'll want to loosen the clamp on the inlet hose to the pump, but it can be done. Also, that 57 Chevy generator will fit just fine. It's about an inch longer so you need a spacer for the rear bolt. If your original armature dies like mine did, the 57 Chevy generators are a lot easier to find. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

Not sure what's wrong with mine, I found a good guide to testing generators, but I suspect even if it's just a new set of brushes, I need to take it off the tractor to service. ------------- 1957 D17 Diesel w/ M&W Pistons |
