This is what my manual says on my Case LA, Not all generators are the same
so you really need the manual to check out your tractor and set it correctly.
Generator
The generator is belt driven, adjustable
third brush type, with charging rate con-
trolled by a "two-rate" regulator. As adjusted
at the factory, the generator charges approxi-
mately 11-14 amperes when the battery is
only partly charged, but when the battery
approaches full charge the two-rate regulator
automatically reduces the charging rate to
approximately 3 amperes, which is sufficiently
low to prevent over-charging.
Charging rate is adjusted by shifting the
position of the "third" brush, which is reached
by removing the cover band on the rear end
of the generator; the movable third brush is
on top, somewhat toward the engine. Moving
the third brush in the same direction as the
rotation of the generator armature increases
the charging rate. Baffle plate shown in Fig.
21 is used to prevent generator from being
heated by exhaust manifold.
