ford 8n voltage regulator

[Blubog]

got a 1952 8n tring to get it to charge. I bought a new wiring harness and regulator still no charge. Is the regulator grounded to tractor or is it rubber mounted? I noticeed some are rubber mounted. I have the regulator bolted to tractor and there is a ground wire coming from gen that I have grounded to one of the screws holding the cover on the regulator.
If this is right my gen must be bad

Did you polarize the generator?? If not that could be your problem.

jumper bat to arm temporarily to polarize.

then check.

if nothing, remove belt.. jumper bat to arm and ground field. if gen spins, it should charge.

post back.
