With the two poles I would say it's a reversible motor. Some of the old time combines used them on the header lift.
 
The two terminal are "A"rmature and "F"ield.

The combine head lefts used more or less a starter motor with a HEAVIER terminal.
 
It looks like a Delco off of an older vehicle, PROBABLY 6 Volt. (Vehicle rather than tractor 'cause of the looks of the tightener mounting ears.)

If it works (charges) it will be easy to tell if it's 6 or 12 Volt.

If you take it apart, there MAY be a Delco part number on the armature which would narrow it down a bit.
 
Looks very much like an Autolite generator that's old enough to use a 5/8ths or 3/4" V-belt.
Have no idea what it would mount on----.
 
Well, they say fools rush in...
I'm not at all familiar with tractor/equipment gens, only cars and light trucks, so:
The "A" and "F" were common to 6V gens (don't know about 12V, never had trouble with mine).
If has no rear mounting ear, and the front double ear looks original (looks welded in pic on my machine) I'd guess eqpmt where belt adjustment is by moving fan (auto systems I've seen, even where belt adjustment is by moving fan, gen has mounting ears at both ends for solid mounting. Where gen moved to adjust belt, has one front earhole for slotted bracket arm, not two).
Pop off insp band; if three brush, one adjustable, probably older 6V; 2 brush generally later 6V, don't know about 12V. Four brush: outside my experience.
Front pulley also doesn't look automotive to me, at least not 30's up. Fascinating.
