Carrier gen.

Does anyone know if the 3 brush gen, for the MKII* is the same as a gen. for a U.S. T16 ?

Dave,

The huge unit on the T-16 is twice the size of the generator on the Universal Carrier.

Do the images show a Windsor carrier on left, and the MK-II* carrier to the right (which has a MK-I* fan extension...)
Dave, as Stewart well knows, as he has owned both: they are not the same between T16 to MK-II* C31UCW. Remember the T16 series, like the Windsor, ... twelve volt.

The T16, like the Windsor also has a radiator saving bracket attached to the intake manifold that assists with holding the generator in place. Another feature on the T16 intake manifold fits an automatic choke to challenge you. Not a quick and easy swap out?

I was towing a T-16 the other day, and noted the HUGE generator. It looks very similar in size to the generator on the Lynx scout car.

The big 12 volt geny that is supported at the case by the two little brackets on the special inlet manifold on a Ford v8 (same geny but with a different front plate found in the 12 volt WC series Dodge trucks)

OK,thanks for the replies. Now that you mention it, I do recall the T16 being 12v.
Thanks guys.

Very nicely noted!

I could not find any pix of my T-16 generator, but had a snap of the Windsor Carrier from the Kruse Museum (now living in Brampton, Ontario I hear).
