[AT] Generator wiring question

[Bigdog]

Greg,
    For the short periods of run time that the tractor will see as a puller, I see no problem with grounding the field terminal.  You could use a 2 1/2 ohm 10 watt resistor from the field to ground for a lower charge rate if you are concerned with over charging.

  I'm getting real close to being ready to fire up the old MinnyMo R
  that I've been working on for awhile, but I'm not quite sure what to
  do with the field wire from the generator.  The original charge control
  switch is junk and I really don't want to buy one, nor do I want to
  fry the battery and/or the generator by doing something stupid.
   
  So, the question is where do I connect the field wire?  This one
  doesn't have a voltage regulator, it uses a cutout relay.
   
  TIA
