" Has this damaged the 6-volt voltage regulator?"
A commom way to damage a VR is to start the tractor with the Gennys polarity opposite that of the Battery Polarity. Therefore assuming the genny was already previously polarized one way,,,,,,,, and the battery got reversed (if that's actually so???? I have no idea from here),,,,,,,,,,, and the genny wasn't re polarized correctly ITS POSSIBLE THE VR MIGHT BE DAMAGED but that's NOT a certain thing, I cant tell from here, heck it may well be fine GIVE IT A TRY
HOWEVER to be safe, once the battery is okay (IF it is, I cant say from here) I would definitely Polarize the genny BEFORE start up THEN JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS, it may be okay (good chance) it may not, sorry I cant say.........BUT NO HARM IN TRYING ONCE POLARIZED
ALSO I have no way of telling the true battery condition/state/charge/polarity from here, all I can say is that above, so don't anyone have a calf lol
