Why would you want to drain the battery and reverse charge it?
I believe your model was positive ground on the 6 volt tractors. The 12 volt ones were negative ground. Install the battery as positive ground, polarize the generator before you try to start the tractor. To polarize a Ford type ("B" system) generator remove the field wire from its terminal on the regulator and momentarily touch the field wire to the battery terminal of the regulator. You will get a spark when you do this. Do this before you start the tractor.
Also before starting the engine, check the wiring at the coil. The wire from the switch should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the coil and the coil's positive (+) terminal should have the wire going to the distributor connected to it.
If the battery was installed as negative ground before, you will need to reverse the ammeter wiring as well or it will show discharge when it is charging.
