I believe this generator is a direct drive unit... there are no belts... years ago, before Cummins bought Onan we used to repair many of the end bells on the generator... the outside end bearing would fail and spin in the housing.... thus the squeal.. we machined out the housing and installed a larger (heavier) bearing to support the end of the rotor... as I remember we did 3-4 a month for the local Onan Distributor... I have no clue if they ever improved the quality of this end bell... but that's where I'd start....
