Bloo Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Title says it all. I am looking for a Generator pulley for 1937 40 series. The pulley is narrower than a Century/Roadmaster/Limited. Would seriously consider a whole generator. What do you have? 40 series cars use a 3/4" belt, rather than the 7/8" used on the big cars. Thanks!

bhemi Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I am doing a resto-mod on a '37 46s coupe. I sold the chassis with running gear to a museum but I got 4 or 5 boxes of parts with car and may have one. Send me a PM and I will try and get you a picture over the weekend.

Bloo Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 PM on the way. Here is the Roadmaster pulley. I need a narrower one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Still looking for a 1937 40 series pulley or whole generator. Condition fairly unimportant. Generator is Delco 918B or 918G. Pulley is 1869825. The pulley may be the same through 1939 (I have conflicting sources about that). The one I am looking for looks like the Roadmaster pictured above, but is a little narrower. It is still a wide pulley compared to most, just not as wide as the Roadmaster. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffH Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Let me check my garage shelf. I think I have a spare generator for my '38 Special. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffH Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Bloo, Were you still interested? Let me know before I try to dig it out. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffH Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 OK, I will take a picture and post it. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffH Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Here is a picture of my generator. It was on my '38 Special from the time I bought the car (getting close to 30 years now!) until about 4 or 5 years ago when I found one that had a nicer case, and also still had the Delco Remy tag. Other than these appearance issues, it is perfectly functional. The scale next to the generator shows the overall length, since I tried to align the beginning of the scale with the very end of the generator (rear bearing housing). You can see the width of the pulley as well. $40 + shipping, from Dayton OH. You can send me a PM to make arrangements or ask any other questions. These generators are fairly heavy, so if there is any way to pick it up... not sure where you are located. Let me know, Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 I will send a PM later today or this evening when I can get home and compare pulleys. It looks like it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
