Narrative:
We were flying hou, tx, to teb, nj, and were in cruise flight at FL370 when we experienced an engine vibration followed closely by a 'generator hot' annunciator light on the r-hand engine. The r-hand generator was turned off and the checklist called for. The checklist was run and the r-hand engine was shut down in due process. During this time center was advised that we may have to do a precautionary shutdown of an engine due to a hot generator and requested an immediate descent to FL280 was requested. Also, WX was requested for our destination, teb, and subsequently washington dulles. Due to marginal WX at destination, we advised center that we were diverting to dulles and that we had shut down our r-hand engine. The flight proceeded to dulles and landed without further incident. Center was most helpful in complying with our requests.
