What was found
THIS ALTERNATOR HAS -0- HOURS TIME-IN-SERVICE. DURING INSPECTION, PRIOR TO SALE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ROTOR HAD EXCESSIVE LATERAL MOVEMENT AS A RESULT OF EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE DRIVE END HOUSING BEARING BORE. THIS CONDITION WOULD HAVE LEAD TO PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE DRIVE GEAR/ALTERNATOR AND COULD HAVE LEAD TO A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. HAVE SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM IN A VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THESE ALTERNATORS RETURNED TO SERVICE BY OVERHAULER. (K)
