Dell - When you "polarize" an electrical system you are setting the polarity of the GENERATOR, not the regulator. (You cannot polarize a regulator - neither at the electric shop nor on the tractor!)

In fact most voltage regulators are polarity insensitive and will work fine either way. The few that are not have a polarity sensitive internal voltage clamping diode or utilize dissimilar contact materials, and they are so marked with design polarity on the cover.

You tip to remove the ground cable from the battery while installing a regulator is an excellent one! It eliminates the possibility of an unexpected shower of sparks and/or destroying some expensive parts...
