[T3] oo-oo that smell

[Chris Sheridan]

Absolutely possible my generator turned into an electric motor. Why not?
But also, Why? I just removed the generator. The inner teeth on the
generator belt have a reddish hue and have cracks between the teeth. The
generator pulley outer shell spins loosely against the inner shell, in fact
if I spin the outer shell fast with my hand, it resembles the sound I was
hearing.
It seems strange that it's loose- the bug and bus pulleys used to have
notches to hold the sides mated together. The weird thing is that the gen
pulley Nut and spacer as totally in place on the generator and tight as
ever, while at the same time the out pulley can spin freely against the
inner pulley, which still seems to be woodruff keyed to the shaft the right
way. If I put my hand on the Cooling tin fan shroud, I can rock the hold
thing back and forth about a 1/4 Inch. It feels like the entire housing has
loosened from the case. Are those bolts under the fan? I'm trying to plan
how much to remove to straighten the situation out.
Thanks,
Chris
