On many 4 terminal VR"s the 3 terminals side by side are BAT FLD LOAD while the ARM/GEN is off on one side or the bottom by itself.[/quote:443a97c30d]
This describes the VR, I can't read the terminals, and like I said it's 250 miles away now.. But it has a 3 terminals up one side, and on the other side of th VR underneath has a terminal that is currently connected to the armature terminal on the gen.
I believe the three together has a wire from the battery, one from the ammeter ( it has two wires from the harness anon them anyway) and th third is from the field terminal on the gen.
[quote] If I had a 4 terminal VR anyway Id opt to go ahead n use the L terrminal to feed hot batetry voltage to loads (lights n ignition) instead of feeding them off the ammeter. Its a lil better system that way if so equipped
[quote:443a97c30d] PS come to think of it, if you have a 4 terminal VR it may already be the one designed for a 2 brush genny n will do fine if you convert the genny. I believe Id try that SECOND but FIRST see if it will work with the 3rd brush if its not set too close???????? cuz delco did indeed use 3 brush gennys with 2 coil/relay VR"s right after the early cutout only relay systems. Im just unsure if the early ones were 3 or 4 terminal??????
Ive read there ought to be from 1 to 2 bar spaces left between the third and fixed brush versus as close as possible butttttt I dont have any real delco specs n data to back that up.....
best wishes. let us know

That's kinda what I'm leaning towards, energizing the field and seeing if it'll output anything, and adjusting the brush and se if I can get anything out of it. I just have no idea where that brush is suppose to be, so I thought it might just be simpler to convert it to a two brush, provided the wire to the adjustable position brush is the one I need to shunt to the armature brush. Even if I need to go get a new regulator for it those aren't nearly what new gen is.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
