Just had this generator rebuilt. Since I live about 20 miles from where I keep the tractor I took a drill and spun the generator with a digital volt meter hooked to the F and the A terminals, only ones it has. F should be the positive since it is a 12 volt negative ground?
Anyway the volt meter would take care of things if it was hooked up backwards. Using both a 18 volt cordless and a 1/2" Dewalt corded drill I never got the meter to read anything.
Is there something else the generator needs to work? I also thought a generator would work as a DC motor but it would not turn when hooked to 12 volts.
I guy who rebuilt it put in a new armature, brushes and bearings. I know he tested it before my wife picked it up.
Am I missing something or has it quiet work? I think it is measuring 14 ohms or so across the terminals.
Also is it necessary to put oil in the front oil cup? I don't know if this is a sealed bearing. I know the back has a brass bushing that needs oil from time to time.

This is the place! Bought
