Well guys I am reporting back with todays findings.
I first went with John T's suggestion checking ohms through the F wire to the switch with it disconnected. In Hi charge, as suspected '0', in Lo the meter was all over the place so then disassemble the dash and check the resistor as Bob suggested. I had a resistor connection issue and while trying to repair it I damaged the resistor. I had another switch that checked good and installed it. Readings are now 0-hi, 2.5-lo. Bob, I also rechecked readings of the gen/cutout and they are at '0'.
Jim B, I took your advise and backed off the third brush, now reading 12amps @ hi idle.
Still no obvious charge in Lo so I checked amps with my meter between the gen A and cutout gen and had 1.8-2.0 amps at hi idle. Seems low to me, thought 4-5 would be the norm.
Maybe I am chasing a ghost.
On another note,
I would like to thank you guys, Bob, Jim and Jim, and John for all your expertise and input into this forum. I and I'm sure others have learned much from you.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
