  • More generator frames

    Yesterday while searching for a good generator candidate for my 43E I noticed a couple of new pieces in the puzzle.

    The first picture is of the 5 differences I noticed in the 32E generators - excluding lack of drain hole on WLA generators. Prior to this I knew of 3 differences starting from the left.

    1st in line - VL and 1936 Knucklehead without a relief

    2nd - machined in relief.

    5th - cast in relief

    The new wrinkle was discovered on the 3rd & 4th generator which both have a much smaller cast in relief than 5th in line does and I am not convinced that it can be chalked up to core shift.

    Then when I got to looking a little harder at 4th one I noiced that it has been ground for even more relief than the cast in area gave it. I did not even pay all that great of attention to it until I noticed 2 more generators with the same neatly ground out relief.

    Any ideas.

    All 5 generators;

    1,2 and 3

    3, 4 and 5

    3 & 4th


    Anybody ever noticed this before.

    Looks as if all have their tags. Which are brass and which are zinc? might help narrow it down...... or confuse us more
