(Another) Charging Problem on 149
I rewired the whole tractor - 12ga stranded - leaving only the battery cables since they appeared to be in good condition with good continuity.
I replaced the battery and the s/g turned better than it has in a long time - faster/harder  Initially I noticed the ammeter was indicating a charge and I was very excited; but I am not so smart and had connected the ammeter backwards. After correctly wiring the ammeter and replacing the battery - still no charge. So I went to bed last night and thought about verifying the ground on the v/r and polarizing the generator - so this morning I replaced the ground wire and started the tractor. I then took a jumper from the A terminal on the generator to the Batt terminal on the v/r - I got a small spark as expected but still no charge. I accomplished this several (3 or 4) times but still nothing. Only question - should I leave the jumper for more than a split second or just long enough to get a spark? Pics attached of the wiring and the insides of the V/R - the points in the v/r move freely by hand - but with the engine running I don't see any movement. Any suggestions? Replace v/r? It looks good but I don't know how old it is or if it working. Thanks a ton!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
