Thanks JA .... this generator is likely of the type you mention. Obviously, this little metal fuse that someone fabricated was subbing in for a proper fuse, like I said it would be shorter than the normal glass-type fuses I have had experience with. And if the carbon block resistor I mentioned is there to limit something, then for sure it is not working since it is in two pieces separated by air space.
When I run my Massey Harris 20 tractor (this generator and regulator has been robbed from elsewhere), the generator charges but at a very high rate, at higher revs it will pin the ammeter at close to 30 amps. Once it is at those higher revs, the needle will fluctuate wildly. Reducing the engine revs steadies the needle and it drops back to about 10-15 amps.
The actual specs for this generator are 3.8 to 4.0 field current amps ..... with an 8V output with 14-16 amps of charge. This is all Greek to me though. Anything more you can add is appreciated.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
