I'm pretty sure I have two 6 volts generators from my 1952 F3 and another from a 1952 F1. I think they are both the same. They were both working. Both trucks were converted to 12 volt. Let me know if you can't find any.
Now I got the generator numbers from my auto-electric guy. Numbers on the tag are FAA-10001b 7 volt 35A.
Unfortunately I dont find my numbers in my shop-manual. Can you please help me out here and try to find out which Field Coils I will need? If I dont find field coils I probably have to find used coils or a rebuilt generator. Thanks!!!

Interestingly enough, FAA-10001-B does not readily show up explicitly in my Ford documentation either. However, all indications are that the field coil is B4A-10175-A which is just a newer part number for the same old 01A-10175 / 81A-10175 / 81A-10175-A discussed earlier.
There are a few NOS ones on eBay which does have an international shipping program for many items now.
Thanks a lot! Yes, I was a little confused because most 10001- numbers generators are 40A but my tag shows 35A. I will take a chance and order one from Ebay. Appreciate your assistance a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot! Yes, I was a little confused because most 10001- numbers generators are 40A but my tag shows 35A.
Ford part numbers utilize what's called a basic part number (10001 or 10002 for generators) to identify a general part, and requires the prefix and suffix (FAA-B) to identify the specific application, specification and design. Hopefully this clears up any confusion. The drawings in the catalogs will show the basic part number, then you have to go to the text or charts to find the specific application prefix and suffix.
My old catalog from 1954 shows the part number for a 52 V8 as FAA-10002-A, 6 volt 35 amp, used with regulator FAC-10505-A. The field coil for that generator is 81A-10175, changed to B4A 10175-A. Ford has a history of changing part numbers for the same part all the time, adding to the confusion.
Wayne, you are correct about the part number breakdown, but Matt was already looking at full part numbers (see post #18: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post21036158 ). He just noticed that in his listings that had, the 10001 group over the 10000 or 10002 were 40 AMP regardless of application prefix, an observation that matched his data set.
Now, in reality it seems that group 10000 is the complete generator assembly with pulley & bracket, 10001 is generator without pulley and bracket, 10002 is the generator without pulley, but who knows what Ford was actually doing?
In both my 48-52 and 48-55 catalogs, I don't show any 10001, 10000 has 3 applications as generator assy, for J parcel delivery trucks. Everything else is 10002, Generator Assy, less pulley, bracket and bolt.
My reply to Matt started out an an explanation as to how Ford part numbers work since he said he had some confusion. I wasn't sure if he had a full understanding on that. The post just morphed into application info.
Thanks a lot everyone for clarification!!!!!!!
I took a chance and bought field coils on eBay. Because my generator is 35A I hope this is the right ones for me. I also asked them about the bolts that hold the coils to the armaturer but with no luck. I know you sometimes have to drill this bolts out. If you know where to find, please let me know. Thanks!!!!
