Your generator assembly has two major assemblies. Motor and Generator
The generator consists of strator rotor brushes and control electroncs. You are replacign 90% of the generator portion of the assembly.

Highway robbery if you ask me. I spent years building Type-4 motors for Volkswagen's and the average cost to do a full rebuild on one ran ~$3500. But for a generator that is far simpler than a Type-4? Cost to do a rebuild on one should be no more than $500 bucks tops.
Well Partner,
You're obviously not too familiar with what we're talking about here. No one's speaking of rebuilding the engine part of the generator. What we're speaking of is, the ROTOR and the STATOR part of the gen. Those two are the major components of making electricity. The engines normally last a long, long time in these gens. It's the electrical side that has more issues. As I stated a while back, my rotor cost me right at $200 and the stator, $1,150. So, that's $1,350 invested in mine at a mere 265 hours.
And, diesel parts usually cost more than counter-part gas parts anyways. I had to replace a head gasket and lower thermostat housing when I did my rotor and stator, that was right at $105.00. So, yep, these things cost for sure.

Hi, I need to replace the stator and rotor in my HDKAJ 7500 gen set. I took it out and found that the rotor has lost 2 magnets. The stator is also damaged and cannot be repaired, in my area anyway.
Any suggestion for repair or replace beside Onan direct for a better price? I was quoted 1200 for the stator and 621 for the rotor.
Thanks
Kidoo,
I have done just exactly what you're about go get into. I did a rather lengthy thread on it about 5 years ago or more. I have a zillion pictures of dismantling that generator, all the way down to that rotor and stator. I got real lucky on my replacement rotor. I found it on ebay. It was out of an 8KW Onan. It's the same exact rotor. I got it for $200 which, included shipping.
As for the stator, well, that's another story. I looked all over the place and finally found one for $1,150. I bit the bullet and bought it. I did the complete tear-down and install. Our gen is on a sliding tray which, makes this sort of repair CONSIDERABLY easier.
Since the loss of Photobucket, I've not be able to post any pics on here or, otherwise, I'd show you a ton of photos that might help in your process. That is, if you're the one that's gonna be doing the work. If not, no biggie. Any questions, PM me if you'd like.
