I saw a post suggesting that I replace the brushes. The tech manual says they should be replaced if less than a 1/4”. Mine are close to 3/4”. I did not replace them but I did swap them to see if they made a closer fit to the shaft. They did look to fit better but it did not give me positive results!

I recieved the tested VR back and decided to double check all of my connections before reassembly. All connectipons checked okay. With assembly complete, I started the hummer to find that I still have no output from the alternator. Still just battery voltage at the output terminal. Also, I...

Just to make sure we’re on the same page, I’m working on a 60 amp alternator. It has a round, end cap style voltage regulator mounted on the rear of the alternator. The wire terminals on the top of the alternator don’t appear to have any markings ( at least I didn’t notice any). I was just...

I had battery voltage at terminal “2A” . I think this is the “ignition” terminal, right? The wipers were functioning normal.

The VR was sent for testing and I am waiting for the results. I pray that it test bad b/c the man said he would replace it. Otherwise, I will have to break down and purchase another generator! This is becoming a real money pit!

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for sure. First off, it took me about three weeks working off and on to get the generator reassembled, then when I installed it back on the HUMMWV, no output! I pulled it back off and removed the voltage regulator. To my surprise, I found one of the brushes...

We it’s after midnight and I just (finally) finished the generator rebuild. Tomorrow is the big day when I install it on the Humvee and fire it up. I pray that my solders hold up! This was a big ordeal for me but from the prices I’ve seen, I’ve saved a bundle of cash!

I’m attempting an overhaul on my 60 amp Sielman S.A. (Made in Greece) alternator. I have my replacement VR, a rebuild kit to replace the broken frame and replacement rectifiers are on the way since the old ones didn’t pass the ohm test. My hang up is trying to desolder the leads from the...

Thanx for all the friendly welcomes! ;-)

Thanx Mullaney, I have three tech manuals and I’ve recently found one strictly pertaining to alternators. Last night I downloaded the one for my M1101 trailer. Good information! Thanks again.
