Two pulleys used on the powerhouse.Comment

I could use one of those powerhouse pulleys, if one is for sale ?
Model A's and of course the famous AA'sComment

I'd sell the 2 spoke, I'd prefer to trade for something for an early 28. What's the offer? -
pAAt, if you need the smooth style let me know. Likely in the pile of generators I have one. May need to trade for it. Have a small list of equal value items I need. Of course a trade between You and Jim should be your first option. Offering this as a second option. Rod

Regarding these trivia pic questions, do we ever get a response if the answer is right or wrong? This would help future archive reference IMO and help complete the thread3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Right or wrong would just be my opinon. Don't know if it would be RIGHT. I sarted this just to get people to pull out the standards, and show the details that go into writing, reading and interpreting them. and show some interesting stuff I've run across.
So far, I think we got them right. There still is a decision needed on the pitman arms (type 4 or 5?)Comment

I do have my opinions. just don't want to be responsible for others, when they have it judgedComment

I resuced a decent load of Model A parts yesterday from a guy who bought them decades ago and just wanted them out of his yard. Most of the items were 28/29, including the Powerhouse Generator (photos below). Looking a the '97 JS, it looks to me like this is a P3 generator with a Type 3 pulley. Can anyone confirm my findings?
The cutout is missing a conector. Is it possible to test this...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

This would have been a very nice side mount cutout 5 brush powerhouse had someone not drilled and threaded 3 holes to shift the cutout to the top, and move the tension bracket to the left side (totally wrong) of the cutout. In the first picture you can see the faint gasket outline of the original correct mounting. I sure can't think of any reason for this crazy modification.
Also notice in the...04-01-2021, 03:56 PM -
I took the generator off of our '28 Coupe to the local shop to be repaired, and the guy is experienced in Model T & Model A generator and starter rebuilds but he ask me a question that I could not answer so I will ask it here.
Will Model A generators with the two different tapers interchange if you use the complete generator, pulley included? The armatures will not interchange from one...11-28-2019, 01:38 AM -
Does anyone have a photo of the special stud, A-10153, for mounting the P2 Powerhouse generator?
If so, would you happen to have an extra? I am in need of one.
Thanks.

This generator came the other day, and I have no idea what fell out before the postal worker taped it shut after they tore it open. It would be interesting to go along the whole trip to see just how they can do so much damage sending a package from point A to point B.
Anyway, this is why I say you MUST make the generator completely non movable inside the box. Loose Styrofoam, peanuts, or a few...03-22-2021, 05:04 PM -
Have any of you found a 3 brush powerhouse generator with a side adjustment bracket like mine? Field coils all original for 3 brush, screws never touched. Adjusting bracket screw also have never been removed or added. The generator is now on this late March or April 1929 car. ...12-22-2020, 08:39 PM -
Over the years generators have been swapped on the Model A's, so now days you can normally have 1 of 4 different styles. First came the 5 brush powerhouse, then the 3 brush powerhouse, then the long generator known as the Autolite style. After Model A production ended and the Model B began, the generator also changed slightly, and now many B style generators can also be found on the Model A. People...01-03-2018, 03:00 AM

I am troubleshooting a 1932 generator that until recently worked well. Does anyone have a photo or sketch how the rear brush plate is assembled? I reassembled mine and am fairly sure I did it right, but want to double check. Also, the wires from the field coils attach to which brushes? I am thinking the long field wire attaches to the moveable brush or is that not correct? The other field wire...08-28-2022, 06:05 PM -

I was wondering if anybody can ID this generator that came with a load of A parts, it’s got the A/B style mount but has a field terminal along with the Usual output.
There was also a regulator box that I assume was connected up at some point,If it works I was thinking of trying it on my B…
