Chad,
Not to sound intentionally harsh, but you need to stop randomly fiddling with this, get John T's troubleshooting guide on paper, and go at this systematically.
If the charging system is working properly, it should always show some positive charge, even at idle. Right now it is barely producing enough electricity to run the ignition system at high RPMs.
The test that you need to do is step 5A in the link that John provided in his first reply to you: Run a wire from the F post on the generator to the tractor's frame (aka ground the field).
If the ammeter jumps to full charge while this is hooked up, you have a bad VR, and/or a bad ground to the VR.
Take the VR off its mount, and shine up the contact patch underneath. Put it back on. If it works, declare victory. If not, replace the VR.
