Randy, I reconditioned my TR3 generator --- resurfaced commutator
myself, new brushes , new bushing (front bearing bearing was still
good) ---- and found the generator to be more than adequate to
handle , not only the starter, but also an add- on 12" radiator fan
with the radio, heater and all the lights on at bright beam. Total
cost was about about $35, including installation of the bushing by
a shop. The bushing was so bad, the armature was rubbing on the
stator. If the stator windings are in good condition, it is worth it,
I think.
There is a reconditioning procedure online.
If you are interested, I'll dig it up.
