Thanks for the help guys. This stuff is kind of mysterious to me. Am pretty good at the mechanicals, but electricals just don't seem to compute. I've got another generator w/o regulator off ebay and hope to be able to make one good unit from the two. Today I'll replace the bearing and bushing from the original (Napa $3.29 and 1.49 respectively), clean everything up real well, and see if it spins when applying power to it backwards. Then I'll attempt the wiring. I'm going to assume nothing was wired correctly when I got it (father-in-law where tractor came from is somewhat more electrically challenged than even I am). Do know it was hooked up negative ground and should have been positive. Do know young son left battery hooked up with ignition off when got tractor home and promptly burned out the light switch and melted almost all the wiring. Sooooo.... Have different cuttout type light switch that came with the ebay generator, and a new regulator (NAPA $29.49) and hopefully will have it all working by tonight.
On the plus side, reading all the stuff on here and with the suggestions from John and others, I think I've got a pretty good idea on how to get our old Case VAO charging again too. First the Farmall though. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
