Re: GV generator removal/end bearing change Reply #25 – May 16, 2022, 11:32:36 pm I don't worry about it. I run the generator when needed. The first bearings lasted 20years, I think the new ones will outlast me. Quote Selected

Re: GV generator removal/end bearing change Reply #28 – May 23, 2022, 09:14:47 pm The mount on the engine end, backside was deteriorated and soft, cracked, its directly below the engine slobber tube and the oil deposited from the tube contributed to its demise and worse condition than the other three. As I stated in another post about the generator overheating issue that I had a couple years ago, the oily mist from the slobber tube was drawn into and forced thru the radiator by the fan. When I removed the radiator for an overhaul it was caked with oily dirt/dust all around the outer fins not directly in front of the fan. Only about 1/2 of the radiator had good airflow thru it. The slobber tube is now routed below the floor of the box thru a 1" pvc fitting. No more oily deposits allowed to get sucked in and blown thru the radiator. . Quote Selected 3 Likes
