QUESTIONS: 1)SO EVERYTHING IS WIRED UP AS USUAL FOR THIS TEST EXCEPT FOR ONE REGULATOR WIRE? WHICH REGULATOR WIRE IS DISCONNECTED?
The F Field wire.
QUESTIONS: 3)JUMP FROM THE NON-GROUNDED SIDE OF THE BATTERY TO WHERE? TO THE FIELD TERMINAL ON THE GENERATOR? AND FULL CHARGE IS SEEN AT THE AMMETER?
Yes. It may not peg the meter, but should charge at full capacity of the generator. Don't run it very long like that.
QUESTIONS 4) SOUNDS LIKE ALL WIRES TO THE REGULATOR SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED FOR THIS TEST, LIKE TOTALLY REMOVED?
No, only disconnect the field wire from the generator. Don't let it touch ground if it's a B.
QUESTIONS 5) SO DISCONNECT THE REGULATOR COMPLETELY FROM THE TRACTOR TO DO THIS TEST?
Yes, it needs to be out of circuit to prevent false readings. Probably be easier to get it off so you can see it better.
SO THESE ARE CONTINUITY TESTS BETWEEN THE REGULATOR'S F TERMINAL AND GROUND (THE REGULATOR BASE)FOR TYPE A .... OR BETWEEN THE REGULATOR'S F TERMINAL AND THE REGULATOR'S BATTERY TERMINAL IF TYPE B?
Yes, you should be able to manually open and close the various contacts with the ohm meter connected and determine if the contacts are making connections. There are resistors on the back to help stabilize the voltage. Take those in consideration. The main thing you will be looking for is the contacts making good low resistance connections.
Just like ignition points, they corrode and arc, sometimes needing filing. A points file is the proper tool, not sand paper! Be sure to get a very thin one so it will fit without altering the clearance settings.
