Shaun, this was the link I used for rebuilding my jeeps generator when it had a total bearing failure. I still refer to it today as it is a great step by step.

Finally started in on rebuilding the starter today. Brand new field coils were used along with NOS field coils screws. Its amazing just how hard these screws are to get out and then back in again. For removal I made up a tool to use in my impact air gun. Worked great for getting them out. However it wrecked the tops by chewing them up. For getting the field coil shoes back in just as tight I use the long nut and the two bolts as a kind of screw in wedge. I screw the screws in as tight as I can, then place the wedge in and turn it so it presses against both shoes. I can then normally get another 1-1/2 to 2 turns in the screw.
The copper leads were then pushed and pulled into shape and soldered into the copper stud.

Came home from work this morning and decided to finish the rebuild on the starter. All in all it went together without any issues.
Next up will be the generator.....but first some lunch.

Nice work Jordan. Did you do anything to the armature? eg undercutting the mica?

Thanks Chris.
No the armature was in great shape. Just polished it up a tad on a lathe. Ive now started in on the generator rebuild but will have to wait again while I search out some new parts. While checking some things I discovered the armature is showing fully open with an ohm meter between the shaft and commutator and the body of it. I believe that this means the armature is no good. The parts manual calls for 1879002. This seems to cross reference to the following via searching in the web. 1921235 1877806 1932900 1963977
