Thanks all;
I confirmed that the tractor is wired correctly and added a wire directly from the grounded (+) post of the battery to the generator and v/r base to ensure a good ground.
I also confirmed that I have hot battery voltage (6.2) to both terminals of the ammeter and the BAT terminal of the V/R. The ammeter swings to the discharge side when lights are turned on.
Based on what I learned from everyone's posting I confirmed the polarization of the generator.
I then started the tractor and took a reading at the "A" terminal of the generator which is wired to the "GEN" terminal on the underside of the regulator. With the tractor running the "A" terminal shows no voltage or a very small -0.13.
Having worked all the way though Bob T's troubleshooing guide I'm guessing that despite having taken the generator in to a repair station at the start of the process the absence of any voltage reading at the generator's "A" terminal means generator is not producing any current?
Before I take the generator off I'll double check the battery and make sure it can accept a charge (plates covered by distilled H2O with no milky appearance).
