I'm sure Bob M will chime in here, But I will give you a start. With encouragement, I recommend a book on old charging systems. Knowledge is a serious assistant.

The "F" terminal on the Gen. (smaller one) connects to the F terminal on the regulator. no other connections to these.

The "A" terminal on the Gen. (big one) attaches to the Gen terminal on the regulator. no other connections here either. These may be the extra leads given, big wire on big terminals (just a guess)

The BAT terminal on the regulator attaches to the terminal on the amp meter that is not connected to the battery. There should be other wires there as well. This wire connects the charging system to the battery and provides power to all systems when the tractor is running and charging.

Your post indicates that it has a magneto mags are never connected to anything but a single wire that goes only to the start stop mushroom headed button. On a mag tractor this button is grounded so that when the switch is pulled out, the wire is not grounded, and the mag operates. When the switch is pushed in the mag is grounded at the points inside, and stops sparking the plugs. Do not connect voltage to the mag ever.

The Wire from the amp meter to the starter switch terminal (where the big wire comes in from the battery, is a fat #10 wire. I recommend a 30 amp fusable link, or heavy duty fuse holder with a 30 amp fuse should be placed in this wire as system protection)

the light switch (OFF D B), and other accessories, if any, should be connected to the non-battery side of the amp meter. By the way if the amp meter reads charge when the lights are turned on and it is not running, the amp meter is hooked up backwards, just change the leads to the opposite terminal.

Be sure the regulator chassis metal has a good solid shiny connection to ground. If it does not it will not work, or it will work inacurately. Good luck, JimN
