ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improvement is provided in a vehicle having a frame structure having wheels suitably rotatably mounted thereon, an axle extending between and fixed to an associated pair of wheels for rotation therewith, the axle serving as a rotatable driver shaft, an electrical generator provided with an outer housing and a rotor within the housing, and a drive apparatus for the generator comprising a driver sheave carried and driven by the driver shaft, a driven sheave fixed to the rotor, and belt means operatively connected between the drive sheave and the driven sheave. The improvement comprises a support structure affixed to the frame structure, preferably including a telescoping member adapted to be received in telescoping relation within the frame structure, an adjustable pivot support supporting the generator on the vehicle, the adjustable pivot support comprising a pin carried by the support structure, preferably the telescoping member, and a lug on the outer housing having an opening therein for receiving the pin therethrough, the adjustable pivot support enabling alignment of the generator so that the driven sheave is precisely aligned with the driver sheave, and a torsion spring yieldingly moving the generator about its pivot support, thereby moving the driven sheave away from the driver sheave and placing a substantially constant yielding tension on the belt means to assure the driven sheave and generator are driven in an optinum manner. This invention therefore substantially overcomes the difficulty of misalignment of belt sheaves, which imposes damaging side loads on both the belts and the sheaves, and also maintains a substantially constant tension on the associated drive belts.
