When I bought my Farmall 560 it had an external voltage regulator wired to the alternator. It was an old-style mechanical type and was not wired in properly. I was able to find a pin-for- pin direct replacement solid-state regulator at a local car parts place and that, combined with being wired in correctly solved all my issues. I don't remember what it cost, but I doubt I paid more than $50.00. If you want to persue that, take the time to have a garage check the alternator output to make sure it isn't shot. If the alternator is bad, I'd go with a rebuilt that has the regulator internal or do the single-wire thing. I don't know from personal experience but have been told than until you rev the engine and get some "tickle" to the one-wire, it doesn't put out much. If that's true I'd rather go with a conventional alt/reg and have good output as soon as the engine starts.
