The original subject was "Re: John Deere MT generator question".

I have a john deere 40 with the same generator. I am currently trying to remove it from my engine block. There is this long bolt that goes through the bottom of the generator though part of the engine block with a spacer and nut in between. The spacer looks like it is attatched to the spacer. Anyone know how to get this out?

The spacer looks like it is attatched to the nut.

Take a look at the [b:654c4848f0]GENERATOR[/b:654c4848f0] diagram below.



Note the lock washer (Key 46), pivot stud (Key 47), and 4" cap screw (Key 48).

Take a look at the photo below of the pivot stud.



Note the lock nut on the 4" cap screw is not OEM.

Remove the 4" cap screw from the pivot stud.



Remove the 4" cap screw from the block.



Hope this helps.

Ok now I see how that bolt is! Wasn?t sure if it was one or two. Thanks!

What manual are you using? That seems to be very helpful!
