IF not mistaken I think the workshop manual mentions taking the head off when repairing or replacing the dynamo. I assumed when the factory built the engine up this went on before the install of the head. I really did not want to remove the head and replace gasket on a perfectly good running engine. Maybe 85Hokie can confirm that is the case?
I remember reading that you need to remove the head to replace the dynamo in the WSM/
Hokie, I got the dynamo off using the flex ratchet. It took me a few trys to figure out how to get the ratchet in and turnanle but when I did it was very easy remove that nut. Now if anyone has a link to a video showing how to disassemble the dynamo I would be very grateful. Alsi, I assume when you say yo drill a hole in that bolt to place a eire in that uou mean straight into the end of the bolt. Is that correct?
I just went through this with mine and I was able to get that nut back on by putting a little grease on the bolt so the nut would stick to it long enough for me to get my fingers in there to start it. Good luck!
correct - the wire will be straight in .......... but the wire will come up and around the case
Well I git the dynamo off and dissasembled. Simple enuff to just hold in vice and tap shaft through with a socket extension. One bearing is very rough feeling and the other is seized. S can of carb cleaner later and I am ready to assemble as soon as I get new bearings, Thanks to all of you for yhd help!
before placing back on the tractor- place it in a vise and use a drill and socket adaptor and check for AC voltage.
Thanks for the tip on testing for voltage. Putting it back on today as it took me a week to get the gasket. Does the gasket require sealant?
Well.............. there is some debate there - some use the gasket and some use the form-a-gasket goo.
