The "A" terminal is your output to your battery. That wire should be hot all the time. The "F" terminal is your field terminal. When this terminal gets grounded the generator begins to charge. The regulator regulates how much current goes thru this circuit which allows the generator to charge hi or low. You have to make sure your generator is well grounded to the frame and bracket to the frame. I've run a seperate ground wire to generators before to make sure they're grounded. The regulator has to be properly grounded to work also. To polarize the regulator to the generator, hook the regulator up with battery connected, take a short jumper wire and hold it on the battery terminal of the regulator and just swipe the other end of your jumper wire over the "A" or "Gen" terminal of the regulator. Now with this done, run the tractor at 3/4 throttle and if it still doesn't charge ground your "F" terminal on the regulator to the battery ground. This full fields the generator which should make it charge to its max. I know this sounds a little complicated but take one step at a time and check each circuit independately.

I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
