Wow. Thanks to everyone so far. Ok. A little more information. It is a 1948 H with a 6 volt system, coil ignition, and an alternator. Wires seem ok, though I haven't pulled the cover off the "light switch" to check in there. It acts like a short circuit (it's been incredibly damp here lately, and it started drizzling while I was driving it home). The battery that was on the tractor gives me voltage (6.44 v was the reading I got) but won't take a charge and seems pretty dead. Unfortunately the new battery is a 12 volt. I didn't realize that at the time I bought it. Have to take it back Monday. The other H is a 44 with a Mag and the alternator has been removed.

I tried turning the 12 volt around, and the ammeter DID read discharge (again with nothing other than the "ignition switch" turned on).
