Hay Banjoman, First, the way I (an Electrical Engineer) was taught and for many many years on many many different tractors (I was a used tractor dealer in the past and used or farmed with many different tractors over 40 years ) I ALWAYS SUCCESSFULLY polarized a generator depended on if it were a Class A (IHC, Deere, Oliver, others) or a Class B (some Fords and some Massey Harris and others) charging systems.
POLARIZATION imparts a degree of the correct residual North South magnetic field into the soft iron field poles by passing current THROUGH THE FIELD WINDINGS which circle the poles. THEREFORE ALL YOU DO IS PASS MOMENTARY CURRENT THROUGH THE FIELD WINDINGS which imparts a degree of residual North South magnetism.
1) That being said for a Class A I used a jumper wirer to momentarily flash/jump from BAT over to GEN/ARM which passed current through the field windings imparting a North South magnetic field.
2) That being said for a Class B I removed the FLD wire and momentarily jumped it over to BAT which passed current through the Field windings imparting a North South magnetic field.
WHY THE FIFFERENCE On a Class B the other end of the fields are grounded so if you apply voltage (such as present on the VR's BAT) to the FLD post you pass current through the field windings to polarize..............On a Class A if you apply hot battery voltage (such as on the BAT) to the GEN/ARM terminal you pass current through the field windings to polarize. On a Class A the fields get their eventual final ground via the VR's connection (via its control relay action) to ground........On a Class B the fields are internally grounded......THATS WHY AND HOW YOU POLARIZE DIFFERENTLY
NOTICE this is how I learned and how I did it SUCCESSFULLY Im NOTTTTTTT saying there may or may not be other methods that work. This is ONLY how I do it and I tried to explain why and how it works so each are free to DO IT HOWEVER THEY PLEASE is fine by me

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
