rbk Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Dave I have a Delco 955 Generator of an engine that sat outside for a long time. I am not sure if it is rebuildable. I am in Joliet Illinois. studebaker@mac.com Where are you located? Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaminDave Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Robert, I am located in Tucson Az. Can you send me some pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I will try to get some pictures when I get back to the warehouse later in the week. The generator housing is rusted and it may only be good for parts. It has the coupling on it and if you do not need that , I would like to keep it. It also has the cutout on it.

BeaminDave Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 That would be great. I don't need the coupling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are three pictures of the 955c Generator I have. It does not turn and may not be any good. I can send it to you and you can see if it is useful to you. Make a donation to the studebaker museum.

rbk Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Not yet. I will wait a few days for the OP to respond. I may have more of these but it is still to cold to be searching in that huge warehouse. I can't afford to heat it!! I am 83 years old and not moving to well anymore. Thanks for your inquiry.

rbk Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) No reply by the OP. It is available for a reasonable contribution to The Studebaker museum and shipping cost.

BeaminDave Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Sorry for the delay. I am waiting for my friend to decide on the generator. I should hear from him shortly. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henryvotel Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks for mentioning Studerex. Not often the stars are in alignment on my parts with someone's needs. The link in Studerex post is correct for about the next 25 days; subject to getting bought by someone else. Henry Votel Forest Lake, MN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalowed Bill Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hwellens, Save me the trouble of looking for my Hollander Interchange reprint. Do you have the same info for a generator for both a 1932 Studebaker President and a 1933 Pierce Arrow 836? It's for a friend, to whom I recently sold the Pierce. I haven't been able to find the generator for it. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 1932 President is 927J is much more difficult to find than 955C. Don't know if Pierce is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 My 1927-33 Chilton Interchange manual shows that the only generator interchange listed with a Pierce 836 is with Pierce 1236, 1242, 1247. Maybe Hollander shows something else. Studebaker generators for Models 80, 90, 91, and 92 are shown as the same part, but different from the Pierce part.

Buffalowed Bill Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks Rex and Gary. At least we can identify what is needed. I guess that it would have been too much to hope that the two cars would have used the same unit. Rex you don't have one for the 32, that you have sitting around, and that you're not saving for your car? John Cislak parted out a 1236 last year. We talked at length about needed parts before I sold the car. He said he'd check, but he failed to do so. At least he never has gotten back to me. Kind of hate to be in the middle, but want to see the projects done right. I'm not sure that cobbling something together is going to be the right direction.

studerex Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Bill I can look in my old delco books that detail the components of each generator to see the difference between the Stude and Pierce. It might be just the pulley as I think Pierce used a double belt. I have one spare 927j and know of one club member with one on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Bill, See the attached pages. Looks like the 836 could have a 927V or 929A. Wonder what the deluxe was used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalowed Bill Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Rex, Thanks again. As for the Deluxe and the generator change, it could be the double pulley. The car I sold did not have a double pulley. I can't imagine that they ever used the 385 cu" engine in the 836A, and I'm sure that they didn't use the twelve in it, so it would be just a guess. There are some sharp Pierce guys who check in, from time to time, maybe they will have an answer. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 If you are not staying original you can always change to a 12 volt negative ground. Here is a photo of the change I did to the Peking to Paris 29 President. Worked perfect. Find a VW Thing or regular VW generator. They have the rear output shaft to run the water pump. The VW Thing had had higher output. Photo taken after the 38 day, 8000 mile rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
