Anyone know where I can find information (schematic would be great) on how
the armature of a 1953 Ford NAA tractor (or simliar type generator) is
wired so I can perform some ohmmeter tests ?

Post this to alt. engineering. electrical.

Chances are that it is a wave winding where the two sides of a given coil
are connected to adjacent commutator segments. A wave winding has the two
ends of a given coil connected to segments on the opposite side of the
commutator but this is used for higher voltages.

Correction- a <lap> winding has the two coil ends connected to adjacent
commutator segments.
Sorry, I thought that I had corrected this.

Tnx for the info, Don. I also received some information from a gentleman
in Australia in regard to how the armature is likely wound. Jim H.
