Ok thanks Grant. What you’ve said makes sense.

Work continued on the generator rebuild today. I picked up a small parts kit from the place in Texas. NOS field coils were sourced on eBay. I also found what I thought was a correct armature but it ended up not being correct. However after some more internet searching I found a correct one in Canada. Hopefully it arrives next week. Some fiddling may still be needed in getting the coils to seat down properly. I also buffed the brush holder and it cleaned up very well considering what it looked like when I pulled it apart. Lastly nothing like using a 10ton press to press in the oiler caps.
