A 300 doesn't have an alternator unless someone added it at a later date. You need to give us more information, like what do you mean by not starting? Does it not turn over? If this is still the original 6 volt system that has been corrupted? By this I mean 6 volt systems require larger battery cables than 12V systems, sometimes folks think they're doing good when they replace the cables with the smaller cables used for 12Volt. Also your tractor is 50 years old 6 volt systems are not as forgiving as 12 volt so all the connections from battery to frame and between the battery and the starter need to be shiny clean. Could also be your battery is bad or weak, the starter going bad. Clean all the electrical connections on the starting circuit and make sure they are the bigger cable for 6 volt. Check your battery voltage and then do a starter draw test, this amount to putting a meter on the starting circuit when you try to start it, in measures the battery voltage and the starter draw, if the starter draw is greater than the battery capacity then you'll have to get the starter fixed. Also the older tractors need to be regularly tuned if not they get hard to start. You might have to find someone with gray hair and whiskers to deal with the ignition points.
