If you remove the belt you may be able to feel/hear if the genny bearings are real bad which can cause the armature to drag the field poles and that can get em hot!!!! Maybe the bearings are dry??? If she didnt get too hot or wasnt dragging, the expensive armature may be able to be saved and maybe she just needs a bushing and the commutator turned n brush work, but sounds like you need to get inside it n looksee cuz I dont forsee much minor troubleshooting until you insure the condition of the bushing and hope the armatures okay..
The more typical genny heating is when the tractors shut down and a stuck closed cutout relay draws heavy current thru the armature and since the belt stops it from free motoring, they get hot.
