To polarize the generator, take a jumper wire and touch it across the battery terminal and the charge terminal of the regulator. Just touch it, don't hold it there, you should just get a quick spark and thats it, nothing more required. Don't touch the field with the jumper. If it won't charge after that, check for a stuck gen. brush, (or worn out) dirty commutator, or bad regulator, (stuck points). Or the obvious bad/broken wire. Tractor forums are a great place to get info on generators/charging, they were still using them long after the automotive trade went to alt. I have some of my old manuals and books on the subject, would have to go on a major hunt to find it/them, if you still have problems, give me a shout, I'll go looking. Sniper
