Generator blower
the blower for cooling the generator was very noisy. my generator has a ton of hours on it and i think the blower is original.
the original is a dayton (grainger) 2C975. it is replaced by a 4TM02. $150.
the old one has brass sleeve bearings. the new one has ball bearings. it came yesterday and was dented so they have another one coming.
i did the same thing on my 1990. you have to cut the mounting plate off and weld it onto the new blower.
hopefully it will quiet things down a lot. the old one was making quite a bit of vibration noise.
later
