I thinks so, the stator and diode bridge works, and so would the rotor. but the nut might come loose, not sure that.
clock wise from front. normal.
but OMG , never tried that ever. I will ask the wind generators guys.
a valid test is under load, and full RPM
or at least partial load, and minimum RPM.
alternators only work at min. RPM,
here is the top GM alternator spec, this is alternator RPM not engine , engine spins about 4 x less. so 2000 divided by 4 is 500 rpm on engine, but that is missing so 2000 is it.
this fact is why alternators best generators out in 1960s.

the electrics don't care on rotation, the fields generated (mag) are not reversed only direction is changed, and the slip rings do not care either, so should work backwards CCW.
