Connect 6 volts + to the body and connect 6 volts - to the output stud. It should spin slowly in the same direction it normally runs. Use a battery or charger of at least 10 amps.

You may just be using a figure of speech, but there are no wires sticking out on a generator designed for the Model A.

some 1932-33 generators had one or two wires exiting the generator case. These generators are occasionally found on Model A's.

Your 1928 should have a powerhouse generator, and most likely it left the factory with a 5 brush powerhouse.

Since you are from Canada, here is how a Canadian powerhouse looks. See the picture I posted in reply #3.
