My generator stopped charging today. Appears the bearing got really stiff and the belt was slipping. Working on getting that solved quickly. But, for longer term, does anyone know of anyone that can overhaul an old generator? Or does someone have a generator that was working when removed that perhaps still has some life left in it?

I am NOT going to swap to an alternator until I have to, for a variety of reasons.

Not sure about aviation-specific repair options, but I have used Haines Auto Electric in twin falls for similar overhauls. Might just need to tell them it’s for a boat.

Husky Auto Electric in Boise had done stuff for me in the past. No need to tell them it's from a boat, he knows what it is and doesn't care.

Do you trust your mechanical abilities enough to do it yourself? Pretty easy to repair according to a 'friend'.

I'm guessing its a Delco-Remy? Parts are (were) easy to find. I may have an old one stashed in y hangar, but I think it's only a 35 amp version. No longer have any planes that use a generator.

I'm with you on sticking with a generator, my 53 has a 35A gen & I have no plans to "upgrade".

I'm pretty sure at least one of the accessory outfits still overhauls generators--
sometimes they overhaul yours (long-ish wait), sometimes they just do an exchange for one they have ready.
Maybe check the aircraft spruce catalog & see if they list them.

FWIW my small town has an auto-electric shop which has worked on my airplane stuff.
The owner is an old pilot, so I don't have to pull that "it's for a tractor" BS with him.

Thanks for all the replies.

I think I can get mine operational until I acquire one that I can overhaul. Looks like the bearings got really stiff and the belt started slipping. Just spraying some penetrating oil on the rear bearing made it spin much easier. But it seems the shaft is stuck in the bearing, so I can't get the end cap off yet.
