Ford 3000 Generator Brush Source

[MBDiagMan]

I need brushes for the generator in my sweet old 3000 diesel. I have googled and searched, but can't find brushes. I can find generators all day long, but all I need is a set of brushes.

Anybody know of a source?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

How about taking the remains of the old brushes into an electric motor shop and seeing if they can help you, they usually have boxes of asst. brushes.

Thanks for the suggestion Barbq! There is an auto electric shop in town that does about everything. I have thought about seeing if they can help. I live 20 miles from town and they're closed on Saturdays when I do my rat killin' errands. I was hoping I might just find some on the internet and let the Brown Truck leave them at the house.

Have you tried NAPA auto parts?

Some of the NAPA stores have that sort of stuff, but you have to find a counterman that's over 19 years old.

I really doubt you can get brushes that fit without actually comparing either the old brushes or the brushholders. Too many possible choices. Good luck.

How about a New Holland dealer? Part number 309791F two required.

Rick,

Your information saved the day. I finally got by the New Holland place yesterday and the guy was on the phone with another phone ringing. He said he was the only one there right then. I gave him the number, he went to the drawer and was impressed that it was the right part. I had an old one with me so we confirmed. Had you not given me the number I might still be standing at that counter.

I got home and got the generator back together. Not only were the brushes worn, but one of them had a broken lead. I got it back on the tractor and cranked it up. The generator is now gennin' but still no voltage to the battery. I will replace the voltage regulator.

I am now one step closer. Thanks a BUNCH for the detailed help.


I got a new seat on it yesterday too. I hope to get a few pictures up soon.

if nothing at the bat, jump the arm to the bat connection on the vreg.. if that makes the bat charge then you indeed need a new reg.

them lucas vregs are pretty pathetic..
