L (load) goes to hot side of light switch (and ignition switch if using distributor)
B (Battery)goes to ammeter
F (Field) goes to Field terminal on generator
There should be an Arm or Gen terminal under the regulator. It goes to armature on the generator. Is this one connected, you don't mention it so I wonder if that is the problem.
The F (field) terminal should vary in voltage. Be more concerned with the Armature voltage as that is the generator output.

2. Should I see a discharge indication with the engine running when I turn on the lights?

"It's a 64 Ford Super Dexta", he said. "It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
