FIRST of all, when you installed the genny did you POLARIZE IT to match your tractor PolArity?? I ask because if it were at a shop how do you know they used same Polarity as your tractor???
I would to be safe Polarize it by momentarily flash jumping (use lil jumper wire) from BAT on the VR to ARM/GEN and you should get a spark.
I DONT LIKE JUMPING HOT BATTERY VOLTAGE TO THE GENNYS FLD that sounds "very wicked" to me assuming this is a Class A charging system. The FLD post is looking for a ground return path to complete the circuit so current flows through the gennys field windings. The first of the 2 series field windings gets its voltage from the ARM post (or third brush if a 3 brush genny) and then exits out the FLD post to which the VR supplies the needed ground.
If you wanna force it to high max charge (for a Class A system) YOU NEED TO MOMENTARILY ATTACH THE GENNYS FLD TO GROUND NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT BAT
If a genny is at opposite polarity from the battery you can damage the VR !!!!!!!!!!!
The VR CAN NOTTTTTTTTT WORK UNLESS IT HAS A GOOD CASE/FRAME GROUND, INSURE THAT !~!!!!
You may have damaged the VR or genny by what you did (unless its a Class B like some Fords used) soooooooooooooooo I suggest you POLARIZE THE GENNY,,,,,,,INSURE A GOOD VR GROUND,,,,,,THEN run my Troubleshooting Procedure if its a Class A system
BE SURE N RUN MY PARA 5 VR BY PASS TEST TO SEE IF THE GENNY IS OKAY INDEPENDANT FROM THE VR you basically dead ground the gennys FLD (if Class A) post n see if she charges then

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
