Does the voltmeter show a voltage when the tractor is NOT running? If it does, then that's your problem.

From what you said above, you GROUNDED the - side of the voltmeter. Since there is a direct path from battery + to the + bolt on the alternator, through the voltmeter back to ground ALL THE TIME, it's no wonder the battery goes dead when the tractor isn't running.

The - side of the voltmeter should be on a switched connection to ground. It should be on the + side of the ignition switch.

I'm not sure about the whole Voltmeter thing, personally. An Ammeter is stock. With an Ammeter, all you have to do is put it in the line between the BAT bolt on the generator and the + on the battery. None of this switch crap.

Sounds like you wired it, THEN went and looked at Bob M's diagrams... and still didn't follow them?
