Try Ebay, Genuine Bosch Made in Mexico. I got one and over all it was cheaper than Aussie suppliers can do it for. Certainly cheaper than rewinding
one.

Unless I knew what bearings were used in the new one I would be going rebuilt original German where I could speak to the auto electrician
I have seen way too many new ones fail in 12 months through poor quality bearings

Bearings are easy to replace and cheap.

All you need is a reasonable gear puller. Bearings can be sourced from bearing suppliers (e.g. CBC) and will generally be made in China to original
specifications. You just have to ask for the best quality.
We use these in lots of very expensive machinery at work and whilst not everything is great quality from China, the bearing supply companies cannot
risk damage to their reputations if they supply inferior bearings.
For a generator, i don't think you will have any problems.

mmmm........ Things have improved then.
I have seen several results of bearing failure in the shiny alternators where the grease ran like hot wax.
As for Chinese bearings I am in mech services and have just had a shit fight with a major fan coil unit where there was a well known brand bearing
failure.
When you went to look up said "well known brand bearing" model number there is no such model.
The FCU manufacturer used a knock off bearing where they just screen printed what ever they felt like on the bearing.
Who knows what it actually really is.

I may have a generator or 2 but they are untested. If you really need another generator I am prepared to pull one from one of the engines in storage,
Just let me know .
Cheers Les
