Found: URGENTLY - Fan Pulley Ford Lynx 12V Generator

[Tony Wheeler]

No worries Rick, I've accumulated quite a variety of generator pulleys off my Ford CMP wrecks! The only real scarcity amongst them is an original CMP pulley! Or at least one without large chunks missing or several vanes busted off. I discovered this when trying to rebuild my own genny recently - the only spare twin belt pulley I could find was much smaller than the standard CMP pulley. This led me to consult the parts list, whereupon I discovered there were in fact two different diameter pulleys fitted, nominally 3 1/2" and 4 1/2", the explanation for the smaller one being: "Use where low cut in speed is desired." What this means off course is heaps more fan noise at cruising speed, so these are to be avoided I'd suggest - although perhaps it may offer a solution for overheating problems. Anyway it's worth knowing about so I thought I'd mention it.

BTW Rick I only have your PO Box address, I assume that's where you want it sent....? I've given it a quick scrub for better ID, which I probably should have done before posting pics! As you can see the vanes have been rubbing on the mounting bracket, the front bearing in this genny was completely shot.

Thanks Tony, The PO Box will do. I am off to town to get a pair of bearings for this genny, hopefully they will be off the shelf.

Regards Rick.
