First time stranded - 10/23/22 08:10 PM
1941 Chevy Master Deluxe
It left us stranded for the first time. The generator seized without warning. Loud squeal and that was it. Stopped charging, cause it to start to heat up as the belt was not spinning as fast as it should. Belt looks melted too. Only drove a mile like that too. With the belt removed the pully cannot be turned.
Is it most likely age that caused this to fail or could it have been something else? We have a few hundred miles on it since we got it on the road this year.
Sons and I agreed that at least it is near the end of the season so we are not loosing much due to the down time.
