Scott -

If the generator has been replaced with an alternator you can be virtually certain your tractor is now 12 volt, negative ground.

However if it's still got a generator determining voltage is a bit tougher. Sometimes the voltage regulator will be marked with the voltage - but unfortunately not always. If the generator has a fan integral with the drive pulley it is not original and is likely 12 volt. (However there are also a few fanless 12 volt generators out there. So not having a generator fan is not conclusive.)

With a 12 volt system you will get by just fine with the 6 ga replacement battery cables like sold at AutoZone, Advance, etc. Otherwise you will need a minimum of 2 ga cables - which incidentally are not generally stocked at most discount parts places.
