So while I'm waiting for the battery to charge I traced out all the wiring. It is identical to farmallbob's wiring diagram shown here at the attached link except the battery wired + to starter switch and - to chassis. Also the remote starter switch of course.
I also noted a splice in the wire from the BAT terminal on the cut-out switch was melted through and appeared that it may have been shorting to lower terminal of the Headlight dimming resistor at some point.
So from this and all your helpful comments I'm assuming I should hook the battery up positive ground and polarize the generator by shorting GEN to BAT on the cut-out momentarily. Is this correct?
The wiring all looks like it needs replacing with cracked insulation and rusty terminals. I'm hoping to wait for warmer weather though. It's 10 below zero out by the tractor today.
