Unfortunately this appears to be a bit too old for the units I have. The tag of the unit in the truck is below:
This is the tag for the unit in the truck now. Unfortunately the P/N has been clobbered. The other unit appears identical, but the tag has been removed. It does have a P/N on it under where the tag was riveted on.

What I'd like to do is accumulate all of the necessary rebuild info before I crack one of these open and find out that I just damaged it due to ignorance. I'm looking for info on what manuals I need to track down and what parts are necessary. The genny in the truck works fine and the spare is untested due to a lack of a pulley & nut.
I figure I can do one over the summer break and then show the students how to do one in August when they're back. It will be a fun way to teach them some electrical principles, but not quite as much fun as a distributor and coil .
TM9-1825B (the 1952 version) has it. I was never able to find it online, so bought one.
I also bought several rebuild kits from armytankguy on fleabay.
Just Me is right about the 1952 version of TM9-1825B having information on the stock G741 generator, but the generator in Andy's photo is slightly different. The model number appears to be GHA-4804UT, but the stock G741 series gen is GHA-4802UT. Also, the nameplate says "Prestolite", which is a later trade name for Autolite, adopted sometime in the 1960s, I think. Both generators would be 25 amp and waterproof, so I can't say without more digging what the difference(s) would be.
