From reading his description, his issue is wiring and not the alternator (Although he could have a bad alternator as well, who knows). If this tractor has the original magneto and he has the #1 terminal wired as he says, directly to the ammeter, then there is nothing to stop the flow of current to the alternator when the tractor is not running. It is draining the battery overnight because voltage is still being applied to the field terminal constantly. By putting either a manual swith to break this connection when the tractor isn't running or an oil pressure switch (as suggested) that will automatically do it for you when the tractor is not running, you will cure this problem.
