Loading some wood on the wagon yesterday and heard a thump and a squealing sound. By the time I got the tractor shut down, the generator belt had broken from heat build up on the fan pully.
The generator simply locked up tight as a drum. I went ahead and finished the day's chores and pulled the battery to charge last night.
I haven't been able to pull the generator yet. I have never seen one seize like that though. I guess the front bearing went. It didn't feel too hot to the touch though.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

You may have had a brush or a brush holder let go.

Denton, I hear good things about these folks. I haven't had a need to try them yet but someone on the board has.
