Time for a regulator. One of the components inside functions as a reverse
current relay. It's sprung open, to prevent battery current from motorizing
the generator (which is normal, as others have mentioned). When functioning
correctly, this relay is closed by generator output voltage. In your
regulator,
these points have welded themselves closed, hence no disconnect. This
also explains the fuse going, as the resistance of the generator armature is
quite low. Regards.

Ok, so when I got home tonight I began eliminating wires one by one- and
it is the red wire going to the generator- now here is a weird/bad
thing- I put in a higher amp fuse so it would not short immediately and
when I did this and put the white/black light from the fuse block(power)
to the generator light with the red wire comign from the generaTOR it
started spinning the generator- I have never seEn that before, I
double(and triple)checked the genrator and regulator wires and
everything seems fine- ANY CLUES? Thanks for all the help so far.

Did you try unhooking one wire at a time to see which was the cause of the blown fuse? What I mean by that is remove the wire from the generator side and check, then re-install and remove the wire going to the oil pressure and then do the same going to the neutral switch. Also try removing the starter button wire from the top of the fuse and see what happens. Process of elimination.
