First of all, thanks to those who responded to my post about how to up-load photos. Let"s see if I can follow instructions!
Here is my problem.
After 7 years of happily running on negative ground, the battery in my 48N (176632)died. So before installing the new one, it"s time to deal with re-polarizing, which I have been putting off for some time because my generator/regulator wiring set-up looks like nothing I can fine in any of the manuals that I have.
I have (hopefully) attached two pictures. The first is a photo of my generator. Terminals F and A are insulated terminals. F appears to be in the vicinity of one generator brush, so I have assumed that this is the Field terminal but I don"t know. If this is the case A must be the armature terminal, I guess. G is clearly a ground since it is a non-insulated screw in the generator case. F is wired to "Field" on my regulator, A is wired to "Armature", and G is wired to ground on a regulator-mounting bolt.
First question: am I wired OK?
Second question: how do I polarize? My manual says to jump regulator "Bat" to regulator "Gen". I don"t have a "Gen" terminal on my regulator.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
