Bill, It sounds like you have a short to ground in your system somewhere. A fully charged 6V battery will not show a large charging deflection on the ammeter while running but a low battery should be getting about 8-10 amps back into it and showing thus on the ammeter if the generator is working properly. Check your wiring for frayed insulation from one end to the other especially where it runs close to any metal parts.

You didn't mention having a meter so I'll assume you don't have one. If you don't have one, take the generator and regulator off and have them checked out at a starter/generator shop. That way you'll know for sure that they are good or bad. Go from that point with wiring problems, a bad cell on the battery or what-have-you. If you do have a meter, report back and someone will help you with places to check in trobleshooting your system.

BTW, the ammeter should be showing "0" when the tractor is shut down and switch in off position.//FB
