My friend's getting ready to bury his dad's remains, went through his house and found this in the back yard. what is it?

Looks like an old DC dynamo generator. Before alternators, vehicles had generators recharging their batteries and running their ignition systems. Once diode rectifiers became affordable to mass produce, they were phased out with alternators.

It doesnt have anything for the A/C clutch.

Pretty sure this user is on the money, looks like a Dynamo Generator.

A superyarboRoger. They're worth a ton of money on the black market, just make sure you sell it quick before the government finds out about it. Reagan banned superyarboRogers in 1985 after over 70 deaths were reportedly caused by them.

Good luck OP try a smart board like Veeky Forums or maybe even /diy/

OP, you can use one of those to make a electric windmill generator. They are very useful.

Actually, since 5000 BC, there have been an estimated 790,562,000,087 deaths due to superyarboRogers. I agree with Reagan's decision, but damn those things were cool.
