I found that my generator blower shaft was a littlle too loose. After pulling the squirrell cage out I found that one of my bushings was worn down almost to the point of damaging the bearing housing.

I went to Grangier and found a replacement bushing and installed it. Now the blower shaft is tight and the belt doesn't wobble.

My generator had 3,114 hours on it, so if your has around 3,000 hours you might want to check the bushings and see if they need replacing.

My blower is a Dayton 2C975 and the bushing part # 3FJT7 (Grangier part #). The bushings are not quite long enough so we just used 2 and put a shaft collar on the shaft to hold the bushings in place.

The original parts are no longer available from Dayton.
