How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Thanks to ebay I managed to find the parts I needed for very reasonable prices and free shipping with the states. I had gotten rather frustrated looking for the generator field coils using he parts numbers from the parts book. However I stumbled onto a wed site with a period Delco Remy parts crossover. The individual left and right coils x-ref’d to s single number. A quick check on eBay produced a pile of NOS parts.

In the meantime while I’m waiting for this parts I decided to start the pulling apart of the transmission. Everything is coming apart nicely and I’ve got some bits soaking in parts cleaner to remove the 75 year old grease/oil. I’m really glad Bob Carrier posted that link to those hard to remove shaft seals and that I picked up a couple of them. Removing the original destroyed it.
A coupe of the gears have some minor rusting but I feel these should still clean up alright and be good to go. I’m also planning on replacing the bearings. Would it be best to use fully sealed ones?
