Generator 

Hello Guys ‘n  Gals, 
I own a 1961 Rampside with a 80hp  and 3 spd. The engine has a generator. 
The oil pressure switch decided  to  “ go south” on me. Upon  purchasing a 
new one, I dove into the engine compartment to change it. Well, let  me tell 
you, it has been a challenge for sure. 
I have removed the fan belt, removed  two of the three bolts holding the 
generator in place. Facing the engine, the  one on the left side of the generator 
bracket and the front one on the right  side.  
My problem is this, how in heck do I  remove the remaining bolt on the right 
rear of the bracket. The pulley is in the  way for a direct path down to the 
bolt head and the oil pressure switch is in  the way from the side. 
With two of the bolts removed, it  will only move about ½” and it is still 
not enough to get at the remaining bolt  or the switch. I have tried a 1 1/16” 
deep socket to get at the switch, but it  will not clear the pulley. 
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone  who has experienced the same problem and 
how they solved  it. 
Regards,
