When I start my farmall A, the ammeter always shows -10 amp (discharge) a few seconds after starting (once the points close on the Voltage regulator).

I've tried polarizing (by momentarily shorting out the A terminal with the BAT terminal) several times. I can't get this thing figured out and to charge positive. I have installed an 8v battery. could this be part of the problem? OR the generator is off of a super C. Were they negative ground by any chance? I'm stuck and getting frustrated. - thanks
