The notched thing on the end is an armature. Each of the
protrusions from
the notch is a pole.


Right. It's the rotor. The stator isn't there. It's being
rewound at the moment.





Because it's cheaper that way? Because it was also used as a
PTO by belt
or friction wheel at some point? Because it used to be
painted but wore
off?


No belts or anything touches the outside of the flywheel. The
exciter motor belts run off the shaft. I don't know why it isn't
painted.

Looking at the pictures again, the big thing to the right of
the armature is
the stator. The armature has slid out of the stator.


No.




That truck costs more than RB's boat!

Lot's more!



I wonder if Scotty likes his truck more than his boat?


That's a dumb question.
