Did you work through my Charging Troubleshooting Procedure??? http://www.ytmag.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=jd&th=458743
It will show if non charging is a Generator or a Voltage Regulator or other problem.
Swapping ammeter leads will NOT cure a non charging problem. If its wired right if you turn on lights or ignition tractor not running it should swing to - discharge. If it goes to + charge swap the leads side to side.
NOTE the BAT terminal from VR and the feed to lights and ignition switches are BOTH on the LOAD side of the ammeter, while the SUPPLY side wires to the hot ungrounded battery post often via a wire to where the big battery cable attaches to a starter switch or solenoid input.
Has there been a polarity swap done on this tractor???
Did you Polarize the genny ????????? (See my Troubleshooting Procedure for instructions)
Does the VR have a good frame ground????
YES the battery needs a good ground and sometimes rusty sheet metal may not suffice.
See what my troubleshooting procedure yields, you may have a bad VR or the wrong VR or shes not wired correct.
