Hi I'm confused by what you are saying, it almost sounds to me like you have an alternator Not an old school generator(dynamo). if you have an alternator you may have a miss match of parts somewhere or modifications. I know years ago I worked on a german 1830 JD it had an external regulator type alternator that quit and JD no longer service.
The "update kit" was a new internal regulator alternator and an instruction sheet of how to cut and loop wires at the old style voltage regulator.
