A DOH Generator question

One of these fine cold days i'm gonna pull my generator and putz more with it. One of them "over the winter" projects. When lookin from front to back (pully in front), which direction are they seposed to turn? clockwize or counterclockwize? I just never have paid enough attention to look, not to mention spinnin too fast to tell when running. When I go to test it I figgure i'll just do a Gorilla Mechanic and chuck up the right size socket in my 1/2" VSR drill and spin away (hopefully in the right direction). Oh, it's a '53 F250 with the 215 6 popper and 6volt positive ground system.


Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving All.

Look at the radiator fan; it should turn clockwise looking from the front.
