Generator:

The generators are non-repairable and are electrically similar to earlier models. The generators feature the following major components:
- The Y-Type stator
- The rectifier bridge
- The rotor with slip rings and brushes
- A conventional pulley
- The internal fan
- The voltage regulator

The pulley and the fan cool the slip ring and the frame.

Three generators are used, rated at 60, 70 and 85 amperes.

The generators feature permanently lubricated bearings. Service should only include tightening of mounting components. Otherwise, the generator is replaced as a complete unit.
