The most simple way to check your system is just as you have done by disconnecting the battery but use a voltmeter.Connect the volt meter across your battery andit should read 8v disconnect the + ground with voltmeter connected to ground cable-this takes the battery out of the system and your gauge will read the output voltage from your charging system.

I checked the batter with the volt meter with both cables on it and get a reading of 8.1 volts.
While the tractor was running I disconneted the positive cable and checked the current again and the reading was 7.0 volts. I'm assuming that is not enought volts to charge the battery. Do you think if I go with a 6.0 volt battery that the charging system will be fine? Thanks again for all you help.

This is good information and indicates that your charging system is in good shape. From a working standpoint charging an 8v battery to 7v results in a dead battery.I would suggest that you change to the 6v battery .
