voltage regulator

[big tomato]

just replaced my voltage regulator on my ih 300 utility .got the new regulator from the local ih dealer. it has one extra terminal on it from the old one that had three terminals that were BAT-ARM-FLD. the new one has four terminals, F-BAT-L-GEN. am i wrong to assume F is field and BAT is BAT and GEN is ARM ?and what is L?.the old regulator was on the tractor when i got it and had no part number or manuf. thanks to any one who can help me out on this.

big tom -

You can leave that "L" terminal unconnected. It's simply a "load" terminal - where the ignition and lights are supplied on some wiring arrangements.

And yes you are correct: F = FLD and GEN = ARM.
