    KR Wilson Generator Tester

    I'm not a KR Wilson tool collector, mainly because I rarely come across one to buy, but here is a generator tester on display at the Model A museum in Gilmore. This would be a nice tool to own, but I built my own several years ago.

      Wow, don't see those every day. Been looking for one like that for a long time. I rigged up a fixture to mount in the vice and use a 1/2" drill to turn them. It is a PIA, but works. Need to build something much better to use in the future.

      Just curious, do they have the Gleaner combine engine display done and on display yet? I sent them a Twin Disk, engine mount, radiator and controls last year. I tried to ask one of them that were here on the VFF a few months ago and got no response. Not a big deal if it is not done, just curious. Rod

        I donated it a couple years ago. We took a bus trip that stopped at the museum and then to The Henry Ford. Built a wooden crate but it was still heavy. Took 2 guys to lift it. Glad you guys like it. I found it in OKLAHOMA when an old machine shop was being liquidated. Bought it for scrap price but needed a lot of restoration. I only used it a couple times so decided MAFFI needed it more than me.

          With my 1929 KRW cabinet, combination machine etc it would be right at home in my shop. When I was a kid we had the pressure washer as shown in the 1931 KRW book. Dad put it in with the scrap iron and hauled it off when we hit a rough stretch. Wish we had that one back. Rod

        Grover,
        Very nice and thank you for donating it to the Museum. I'm a KRW junkie and have one but mine is nice but not THAT nice. It could use restoration someday.
        I don't find as many tools as I use to.. at swap meets or even ebay..... I once found a V8 distributor fixture at a garage sale... the most complete one I have.

          Gilmore is a Great Way to Spend the Day
          by Tom Wesenberg
          For those who haven't been to the Gilmore car museum, you should put it on the list of things to do. It's located just a mile or two west of the small town of Hickory Corners, Michigan, or about a dozen miles northeast of Kalamazoo. It's out in the country, so there is no crowding, and no traffic noise. There are no large crowds, just a relaxed easy going visit with over 400 vehicles on display. Bring...

          Some Pictures from Gilmore Model A Day
          by Tom Wesenberg
          First is the front of the Model A Museum building, built as an old dealership would have been. Franklin, Lincoln, and Cadillac have done the same.
          Next is 3 Franklin engines on display just before entering the special exhibit room. The cutaway engine is a 1963 turbocharged Corvair Spyder engine. The last most will know is the Delorian....

          My Growler!
          by Terry, NJ
          OK Tom and anyone else that knows what they're doing with electricity, I recently acquired a old growler. I know you test armatures in them by rotating it in the big Vee block with a probe, but not how to do it or what to look/listen for. Someone over on the darkside just got told his armature needed to be "Remagnetized" and that will be $90 thank you. Ignorant as I am, I wouldn't have fallen...

          Who Was Waiting for an EVR?
          by Tom Wesenberg
          I had a few emails from guys waiting for me to make more EVR's. Our summers are so short in Minnesota that I try to make enough of these during the winter to last through the summer. This year they sold out early, so twice I had to make more. I just finished 9 of them for the common long generator. Later I want to put together some pictures of the EVR's and end plates for the different generators...
