I recently hooked my 6v generator back up to my truck and I accidentally switched the field side and the armature side wires on the generator. Will this do any damage to the generator or voltage regulator? Thanks

I think the generator would not have been doing anything, hooked up like that. I don't think there would be damage.

Be sure to polarize the generator/regulator, as described in the Shop Manual.

Update on this little problem. I had the generator rebuilt and wired up correctly. Works like a dream!! Slowly but surely the bugs are all being worked out of my fresh rebuilt 54"!!
