Hi guys. I found this model on a site that sells tractor regulators. Also, the guy who rebuilt my generator was qualified so I'm guessing it will work ok. I was originally just confused about the "L" terminal and lack of "A" but I think we've concluded that it's on the bottom. I'm going to install it and test it this week. Bloo, I can't find any markings on the actual generator but it's the original for the car. 1929 Graham Paige Model 612. I wish there was an online parts list for the whole car. Thanks all you guys for the input. I love this site as I'm a semi-amateur but learning more all the time. Geoff

Hey Terry. Thanks a lot. I think I'll hook up the system assuming the bottom unlabelled terminal is armature. If L. being there has no effect on the system when not used I can stick with what I've got. So field thin wite armature thick wire and bat to anmeter.

Here’s the one I’m looking at… https://brillman.com/product/6-volt-delco-voltage-regulator-generator-mounted-premium-quality/ PS. Does “Gen” on this unit equate to A?

The new unit he put on the generator has four terminals. I’m guessing that it’s the wrong one as it has the additional “l” terminal. I’m wondering if this unit would be suitable to install? Link in post below.

Hi guys. I dug up the original regulator. I can see three terminals Bat A. And F. Thought that would be the case. I’m not sure why my rebuilder discarded this unit but maybe it’s safe to say it’s not working. The generator does indeed have the three brush system and he installed new windings.

Hey guys. I will take some serious photos today. Thanks a lot.

Sorry I meant open her up.

Bloo I might have time tomorrow to owe her up and look. I'm guessing you're right about which one is which. I think I'll order the regulator I referred to. It's only 30 bucks and seems correct. One other question. Should the body of the generator have a good solid ground to frame ( positive?). Thanks so much.

If I recall correctly, the original box on my generator had the two relays inside it. As Bloo said, one out be the cutout and the other a voltage regulator. If I order this unit https://www.steinertractor.com/ABC074-6-Volt-Voltage-Regulator i am guessing this would work with my third brush generator. However I'm still unsure as to where the two wire emerging from the generator would be run. One is insulated, the other is thinner and uninsulated.

https://www.steinertractor.com/ABC074-6-Volt-Voltage-Regulator sorry link should be in above post.

This seems to have the right terminals. B. F. And A. But should it not also have a "cutout" to keep the battery from draining. Signed, confused.

Terry. Excuse me while I go bang my head into a brick wall. I'm more confused than ever. I think I have to find a mechanic locally who's used to antique cars.

Terri I think that's it. I can't see what else the fourth terminal would be but the "a". I'm going to hook her up accordingly and see if I get current flowing TO my ammeter when running. I'll just ignore "L". Thanks.

Bloo. I took the unit off and there is a fourth connector under it. It's not labelleded but could this be "a"? im going to guess that it is. An I right thinking the large wire goes to "f", the small wire to "a", and the bat wire to the anmeter/battery????

Olstech. Hmm me too. I'll try to get a hold of the guy. He said he replaced the coils inside but the voltage regulator/ cutoff makes no sense to me either.
