jself, We have a TO-30 with the exact same problem. We even had the alternator rebuilt and still the battery does not charge. I posted on this site about this problem and receieved two interesting pieces of information:
1. was a series of wiring diagrams, 2. was the note that another user found that the rpms were not high enough to get the alternator to charge and the engine needed to be reved up. But we have not fixed the problem yet - too much other stuff going on - but it is on our list. I could send you the wiring diagrams if you give me your direct email address. I also agree with the other person and leave the shift activated starter switch in place. I wish my other tractors had that option as well. My three year old is too smart and he can start the push button versions so we have to disconnect the battry terminals. The TO-30 is 'safe', at least for now as the lever is too hard for him to start.
