Identify this generator?

BADDBOYY21 · Jun 30, 2015

My generator on my Massey 165 Diesel quit working. I already have a new voltage regulator and I have rewired the tractor. I read that there two type of generators on the old 165's. Mine is a 1969 with the Perkins Diesel.

I am attaching two pics of the generator. Can anyone tell me if it's a Delco or a Lucas?

Thanks,

Shawn

Its been a long time but I'd say its a Delco . The Lucas had casting fins on inside of mounting brackets.

1 st pic Delco / 2 nd pic Lucas Hope it helps Ya ! Not 100% sure .

I was thinking it was a delco also based on where the wiring connects.

For generator rebuild in the Pittsburgh area I recommend:
Willard Generator
726 Bower Hill Rd,
Bridgeville, PA 15017
Phone: (412) 221-9405

Be sure take the generator AND voltage regulator. When it comes back the charging system will be perfectly adjusted.
Hope this helps.
