Power flows from a growing higher potential to a proportionally lower potential, or put another way from an increasing voltage source to a decreasing voltage source.
That which we call a positive by any other name might be a double negative; or positive.
Water flows down hill, higher potential to lower potential.
Power flows out of a generator to a load, unless you motorize the generator (turn it into a load) or run it at reduced voltage from a larger power source, electric grid, then it becomes a voltage reducer in the system. Var generator or absorber.
Lastly vars are like the foam on a beer, nobody wants the foam or to deal with it, but its all part of the experience. So enjoy. Thanks Neal E.
Electron theory, conventional electric application, AC & DC wiring not comparing apples to oranges. Black wire in 120 AC=hot (potential, but int DC wiring black is the ground. EE engineer told me once I was crazy as I was wiring up a AC duplex in a house. Theory vs practical application.
So in practice, on a tractor, consistency and polorization is the only thing important in a system with a generator. However if installing an alternator, you'd best get those diodes working in the proper direction. Neg ground alternator must be hooked up to negative ground battery and vise versa with a positive ground alternator, and yes they do make them.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
