Regulator ontop of generator

Hello! Finally got old Peabody out of hawk and I am trying to make sure I am wiring this thing right. I have a generator with the regulator on top and I need to make sure the small single wires are the ones going to the fields? And the one stranded wire is the brush positive? On the regulator, do both field wires go to the F terminal or does one go on the D+ terminal with the brush wire? I'd sure love for this thing to charge right!

Also, to polarize this generator so I hit the positive brush wire with the positive lead and ground the two field wires?

Trying to rule out any potential issues.

Thanks so much!

Look at this

I have seen that. I don't have the D+ / F post right on the generator just 3 wires coming out of slots on the top much like the one below. The larger wire goes to the brushes while the small two seem to be fields. Would the brushes be my D+ and the fields be my DF? Just can not get this stupid thing to charge. Thanks for the insight!
