I have a 51 8N that I got a remanufactured generator for. This model uses the saddle type bracket to mount the generator. In the bottom of the saddle is a pin that keys to a hole in the bottom of the gen. When the gen. is in the saddle with the pin in the hole, the the gen, pully is to far forward from the water pump pulley and crank pulley. The old gen. that I took off had the same problem, but to correct the pully allingment problem someone hand drilled a hole so that it would line up the the gen. pully with all the other pully's. Everything looks like the correct parts for the year tractor I have, engine block serial # starts with 425, which indicates a 51 block, any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks, Keith

Keith, This is not trying to be condesending but is the pulley on backwards? I have a 51 and years ago I had the generator rebuilt and it came back from the shop with the pulley reversed. When I went to install it, the pulley wouldn't line up with the crank or water pump.

Great advice! Short and to the point. Many offer advice which spends the money of those having trouble freely. I always like to check out the simple inexpensive solutions first. This is better than throwing money at a problem like the gpvernment does.

Scott, You hit it right on the head... The pulley was on backwards. You saved me from punching a extra hole in the case of the generator. I guess the guy that owned the 8N before me had the same problem you did, but fixed by drilling another hole, not reversing the pully. Thanks very much!!!!
