FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Go to a local bearing supply house (such as Bearing Distributors Inc. or Applied industrial Technology) and take the original bearing look at: NCH 6203 2NSE9C3 or KOYO 6203RS I believe the KOYO number is 2 rubber shields also can check at local NAPA and see if this bearing has the rubber shields: Balkamp 3-4100 or if it is offered through them with the rubber shields.
The shielded bearings are perminately lubed and require no oil. They require the washers that held the felt seals for proper spacing in the generator front housing.

The original bearing is sold with double rubber seals or metal shields. Suggest you use the rubber seal type and remove the felt. keep all the washers.

I am in the process of rebuilding a spare 6v generator - 2 brush 01A. All looks good inside except the front bearing. I have a new bearing coming - back bushing has already been replaced. Here is my question:

My generator does not have parts 10212 and 10122. These appear to be felt washers. I assume they are there to keep dust away from the front bearing. I can't find anybody who sells them.

Does anybody know where I can get them and if thy are useful to install?
