A peek at the original schematic may provide the clues. At least during
the GE production, the motors used in the E-15 and larger tractors have a very
heavy field winding , that possesses few turns, in series with the armature.
I'm not very up on my DC motor theory, but have dim recollections of this type
of winding being used for either speed stabilization, or to cancel the effects
of armature reaction.The placement of it will favor efficient armature
rotation in one direction,and less efficiency in the opposite
rotation.
One of the
real EE types on this list will certainly clarify this. :)

I have a New Idea 15 that I converted.
Got fed up with the controls so made my own. I have a simple
controller for the armature and 4 switches hooked up to the original
resistors for the field. My question is when I have it in high and
least resistance to the field and put it in reverse it just speeds up by
about 50%, why? Nice feature though.
