I'm not the expert when it comes to generators or things electrical
and I had numerous problems with my generator system. The last time I had a
problem with the generator I used my lead hammer on it about every 50 miles
to get the brushes to move and work again; that was a $75 rebuild.
It is my understanding that a generator is good of about 30,000
miles then it need new brushes. I would think it easier to find a brush kit
for the generator. NPD and Mac's show a listing for them. I think you
also need to understand how to replace the brushes. I think there is a
trick way to get the brushes installed. It been too long since I worked
with the generator, I converted to Alternator.
If all else fails go to the Parts List with Ford Part numbers and do a
search on the part numbers.

Equipment.pdf
Generator - C1TZ-10002-A
Brushes - C1AF-10069-A
Bearing Front - A8AZ-10094-A
Bearing Rear - B6A-10095-B
Having a spare would be nice for a direct replacement and keep
going. Mac's catalog lists a 30 amp generator for $114.95.

I checked with the local NAPA plus an OReillys -- total strikeout.
I'd like a spare generator in the trunk for roadside emergency repair,
especially when attempting the 2800 mile round trip to the United in
October...
Gotta be a stash somewhere :)
