Hey Matt - If you have an ohmmeter you can use it to figure out which regulator terminal is which. Set the ohmmeter to it’s lowest range (ohms x 1). Connect one test lead – doesn’t matter which - to the regulator base. Then test each regulator terminal with the other test lead. Results should be as follows: F (or FLD) – ~0 ohms G (or GEN) – several ohms B (or BAT) - open circuit (infinity) Obviously the remaining terminal will be the L. --- Additional tests: 1 - Remove the regulator cover. You should find two relays inside. 2 - Attach one test lead to the regulator base and connect the other to the F terminal. Now push the voltage regulator relay armature down (the voltage regulator is the relay whose contacts are held SHUT by spring pressure). The meter should read several tenths of an ohm with the contacts held manually open. 4 - Connect one test lead to G terminal and the other to the B terminal. The ohmmeter should indicate open circuit. Now manually push the cutout relay down (the cutout's the the relay whose contacts are held OPEN by spring pressure). The meter should read ~0 ohms with the cutout contacts held manually closed. --- Note: It's possible your regulator has only 3 terminals (ie. the L is missing). If so simply connect the ”orphaned” wiring harness L wire to the B (or BAT) terminal on the regulator. Hope this helps...

A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
