r geiger (or) said: (quoted from post at 11:43:35 12/14/09) the link is to a post last week about a 9n gen. picutes show 3 posts with 3rd brush switch. ground and field wired together and is using a cutout. Question, would not this be charging too high?

9n gen

I kept following that hopeful of a resolution explaining it, but it didn't happen. Several problems there. We have no idea what generator he has........not any of the half dozen Ford N generators known to many of us. It has a stepped barrel AND in his pictures the barrel has terminals stamped "A" and "F" and those two are jumpered together!!! Something isn't copacetic here. In the end, he said that a new cut out fixed his problem. I contend that we still don't know what exact generator that he has, AND that those stampings are 1) wrongly hand stamped by someone in error (actually F & G) or 2) the terminal connections have been swapped around internal to the generator.....lean toward mis-stamped. You over-charge question........that is the purpose of the HI/LO adjust screw, so that operator can set output so as to keep battery charged but not overcharged. If it were a one terminal generator, the Field is simply tied to the case ground internally and the cost of screw/washer, etc. is saved. See the 3 brush units , right, top, bottom:

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D ... [Read Article]
