The genny quit on the 630 Deere yesterday so I pulled it off and took it apart. It was a Deere rebuilt that I'd put on a good fifteen years ago or so and it was an open frame unit, not sealed like most tractor gennys are. The power steering has had small leaks for years on that thing so the genny was exposed to slightly oily air coming from the engine fan. When I took it apart it was an oily mess inside and the front bearing was shot. This is when I got lazy and called Deere to price another genny. $280.00!!! The parts man did a little more researching and found one on the after market for $200.00.
To make a long story short,$20.00 for a new bearing and a couple of new brushes and fifteen minutes of cleaning and blowing dry and it was back to work again. We won't be lazy again, will we!! Jim
