Most of that type of hookup I'd hooked directly into the battery terminal with a fused wire.
Is there a problem with doing it that way rather than hooking into the voltage regulator?
It probably isn't a problem, but it could conceivably reduce generator output due to current limiting function of the VR unit.
I personally always thought it was a strange design & ultimately, I guess the designers did too, as it was eventually designed out.
What it did, was allow the generator to supply loads without regard for (i.e. independently of) the current sensing coils inside the voltage regulator. Leaving that current sensing coil to limit only generator current to the battery, whereas VR units without the "L" terminal sense the total generator output current (loads + charging current to battery).
As I said, I always thought it a strange implementation.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. 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.
