Thanks to John T and every one else. I decided to check out the generator that I took off of the tractor first. Nothing happened when I hooked it to the battery, so I took it apart and cleaned it up. The armature was rusty,so I took it to the wire wheel and cleaned it up. The fields were just as bad, I used a wire wheel on the drill and shined them up and then finished with a wire brush . I checked the armature with a small screw driver and there was no magnetic pull on it so I think it is bad. Took the ends s of the case to the wire wheel and shined them up. Decided this one wasn’t going to work. After lunch I went over to where the tractor is and checked that generator, it spun when I hooked up the jumper cables, so that one is ok . Tried to polarize it but didn’t have any luck. Decided the rusty connections needed to be shined up. Promptly dropped the first screw into the sticks, leaves and mud. Drove 12 miles home to get a magnet and the other regulator so I would have plenty of extra screws. Cleaned up the connections and got it polarized and working like it should. Thanks again, Chris

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
