Bob,
Agree on everything Kelly C said, but notice you get a + ammeter reading from just flipping the switch without running, no lights, etc?. Assuming this is a stock 6V set up, and you had it installed as negative ground -- then the cutout relay or voltage regulator is stuck or something is shorted so it will always drain the battery.

For a quick fix, I'd disconnect the charging circuit, just remove the two wires from the generator and tape them off, and also disconnect one terminal of the battery when not in use. Then charge the battery from an external charger. That will get you through mowing hay without constantly draining the battery.

For some more exact help and a real fix, you'd do well to post back with more info: generator or alternator, 6 or 12 volt system, mag or coil/dist. ignition - and so on. H's came with mags or coils, regulator or cutout versions and many have been converted to 12 volt positive ground systems along the way. So at this point, nobody can give you exact help without more info on what kind of setup you have.
