| 29 DA-6 generator cut-out wiring
Hi,
I've got the rebuilt generator in on my 29 DA 6 and have mounted the cut-out. I've got 2 wires from the generator on the cab side of the cut-out. I believe one is a ground to the mounting cut-out screw and one attaches to the cut-out, but can't figure out which is which. Does it matter? I know one side of the cut-out attaches to a wire in the loom, but these other 2 wires I can't figure out. I took a photo before dissassembly, but it is unclear. Can anyone help? Thanks |

Hi Bob, as far as I know there are only supposed to be two wires that connect to generator cut-out and they are pretty self explanatory considering their length as to where they would go. If you post a pict. here than maybe it would help. I might just be misunderstanding you but it sounds like you have three wires. | |

Jason, thanks for the photo. Hmmmmmmm, yes I do have 3 wires. One I understand comes from the main harness. I've had the generator rebuilt, but even before that there were 2 old cloth covered wires coming from the generator at the same location. One of those went to the cut-out and another was a ground that went to a screw that held the generator in place....I just can't figure out which is which since my original photo is bad and it's been rewired ...now you have me wondering if one of those 2 is even necessary. I'll see if I can get a photo. Thanks! | |

What is the type/number on the plate of your generator? You may have a generator that used an early regulator. They had 2 wires coming out of the generator. The cutout is basically just a circuit breaker and only needs one wire. The current is set by the third brush adjustment. | |

Jason, here are my photos with the 2 wires. I don't have the loom installed with the wire from the battery yet, so just the 2 out of the generator show.
To hwellens the number on the plate is not readable...on the pulley however there is a number 18P149....don't know if that helps...again one of these wires was a ground to the screw that holds the cut-out to the generator. If the cut-out is just a circuit breaker and the wires come from the same spot inside the generator maybe the wires are interchangable and it doesn't matter which wire is a ground and which one is mounted to the cut-out...??? Thoughts? Thanks. | |

Don't know if this helps, but here is my 1931 DH6 setup.

John, yeah, you just have the one wire out of the generator like Jason does. My generator with the 2 wires was original and still had the old cloth covered wire on it until I got it rebuilt. Thanks for the photo. Sure do envy the Clum switch in your photo! | |

John, if you got an extra, I'd be happy to purchase....I saw one on Ebay, but it only had 5 contacts and not the 6 you showed me in a photo several months ago. I think it was Clum 9150 if I remember correctly. Thanks! | |

I don't think the wires are interchangeable. One has to go to the charging side which I think is the 3rd brush. If the other is just a ground then maybe you can see with an ohm meter if it is grounded to the case. Don't know why that would be needed. You may have to take it apart and see where the wires go. Still think you have about a 1935 Mopar generator that came with the 2 wire "two charge" regulator. | |
