[Farmall] test

[Mike Sloane]

Actually, that 2-coil, 4-terminal regulator can be used for positive or 
negative ground - once you polarize the generator. And the regulators 
for 6 and 12 volts are almost identical, just set up for different 
voltages. In fact, you can't tell them apart by looking at them. (Don't 
ask me how I know this.)
