regulator polarizing

how do you polarize a new regulator for a 6 volt system on a 130 farmall?

You don't you polarize the generator.

Its indeed the GENERATOR that gets polarized... What polarizing does is to pass current through the gennys Field windings in the correct direction (i.e. correct +/- Electrical Polarity) so the soft iron shoes develop a small residual magnetic field of the correct corresponding North/South Magnetic Polarity so when it starts to spin the charge is in the correct direction/polarity.........

Magnetism and electriciry are closely related. If you pass current in one direction through a coil of wire encircling a piece of iron the resultant magnetic field impartend into the iron has a certain North/South Magnetic polarity BUTTTTTTTTTTTT if you reverse the current flow direction, the magnetic polairy is likewise reversed WHICH IS WHY N HOW A GENNY NEEDS N GETS POLARIZED. Otherwise it will try n charge just bass ackwards.......

Sorry, I read your post just "bass ackwards" lol havent had my coffee or put glasses on yet
