The generator can get reversed if boosted backwards with dead battery. It will get flashed in to match the polarity of the boost once the engine is reved up.
A fully charged battery installed reverse polarity can let the smoke out of the generator wires when the cut-out closes. Othertimes the cut-out contact fries. And sometimes the generator takes a nasty surge and gets repolarized.
If pull started with a reversed dead battery then yes the tractor's polarity should stay the same and the battery become charged in reverse.
