You moved out of Hobbieville and things went downhill ever since lol.....
1) When jumped bat to field while running discharge rate went to 20.
Youre supposed to DEAD GROUND THE FIELD NOT HOOK TO BAT for the full field test... (hope you didnt fry anything)
2) Regulator looks rather new. If regulator is neg ground only would this cause the problem??
I dont think so, they usually can still work at reverse polarity, its just that the contacts may burn prematurely.
3) Was it polarized wrong when I bought the tractor?? How can I fix it??
Sounds like the genny may have been at the incorrect polarity to match the battery ground, in which case the VR may or may not be bad after all that??????
Im getting mixed signals on ammeter wiring so lets start from scratch, heres what Id do.
4) Insure ammeter wiring. Theres but ONE wire to the SUPPLY side, thats the one that connects to the ungrounded battery post often via a wire to the start switch/solenoid where the big battery cable attaches. The other LOAD side wires to BAT on the VR PLUS feeds power to the light switch. As you already know if the ammeter is correct if you turn on lights when shes setting not running it should swing over to - discharge.
5) Install battery,,,,,,,POLARIZE genny by momentarily flash jumping BAT over to GEN/ARM on the VR,,,,,,,,
Start her up n see if she charges (battery voltage should rise at fast RPM)
If not take 2 aspirins n call me Monday at the office AND RUN MY TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE BELOW especially the dead ground the Field test to see if she charges then......

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
