okay,..i checked the positive post lead to the distributor and it's correct. After a few shots of engine starting aerosol, she fired up and ran. It's the first time it's run in many years. I let it run for a bit while trying to adjust the fuel/air mixture on the carb. One problem, ..it's running full throttle and won't idle down. It has the original Tillotson carb. Also, i suspect the generator is wired backwards because one post started smoking and the generator got very hot. I killed the engine at this point. It has a Delco-Remey generator but i can't quite make out the markings. One post has what looks like an "A" stamped beside it and the other post has some sort of small figure stamped next to it which looks like an out-of-shape-triangle. Any insight on this, guys.?

Delco generator terminals will be labeled "A" (ARMature) and "F" (Field), and will connect to matching "A" and "F" terminals on the voltage regulator.

Before starting the tractor, after a long period of non-use, or a battery polarity change, you should have "polarized" the generator by using a jumper wire to momentarily connect "BATT" and "ARM" at the voltage regulator.

This assures that, upon startup, the generator will begin to charge with the same ground polarity as the battery connections.

Since you apparently did not do this, you MAY have damaged the voltage regulator and/or the generator.

But otherwise congratulations. I know you have been working long and hard on this.
