[RE-wrenches] Rebuild/Replacement for Harris Hydro

[Kirk Herander]

Hey David,
Good to hear from you.
There is a local alternator shop in Essex Jct (VT of course) that has
rewound an old 12vdc Harris for a customer of mine several times. I don't
know the name, but hopefully they still exist and you can find them via a
search. Can't help you on the wheel. Good luck.
