Nothing on a Model A generator (3 brush) or cutout needs to be "polarized".
That is a potential way to cook the primary windings in the original cutout.
I am still recommending the simple and robust solution I offered on this thread a hundred posts back.

I am confused about no voltage at the cut out when the engine is running. Did you mean something different. I think there is voltage at the at both sides of the cutout when the engine is running. When the voltage of the generator matches or is greater than the battery voltage then the cutout closes to charge the battery. Please advise me if I am not correct.

Do not get me started on the stupidity of ethanol. I think one of the monitors is from Iowa and he will delete the thread.
