I'm sure some of the good IHC gents will post a wiring diagram but in the meantime:
4 Terminal (BAT FLD LOAD ARM) BAT wires to the Load (NOT battery supply) side of the ammeter FLD wires to the Gennys FLD post ARM (GEN) wires to the Gennys ARM post LOAD feeds hot battery voltage up to the lights and ignition such as the bat input terminal on a lights or ignition switch
3 Terminal (BAT FLD ARM) BAT to load side of ammeter FLD to gennys FLD post ARM (GEN) to gennys ARM post
IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE A NEW 4 TERMINAL VR TO REPLACE AN OLD 3 WIRE VR and only three wires available to connect:
BAT is the one that's hot voltage because its connected to the load side of the ammeter FLD on VR still wires to gennys FLD post GEN on VR still wires to gennys ARM post
You can either disregard and not use L orrrrrrrrrrrrr you can use it to feed the lights and ignition which used to be fed off the ammeters load side terminal, same terminal where BAT from VR connects. On a factory 4 wire system loads are fed off the LOAD terminal,,,,,,,,,On a factory 3 Wire system loads are fed off the load side of ammeter, that's the same place where BAT from VR is connected
On a genny FLD is often the smaller post and ARM is often the bigger one.
A 3 can be converted to a 4 or a 4 to a 3 wire if you follow the above
To be safe Id polarize the genny BEFORE start up
Check the wiring diagrams and what the IHC experts have to say

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: The Saga of Grandpa's Tractor - by The following saga is from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. Someone. The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction,
