With a volt gauge you need to put all the wires from both terminals of the amp gauge on the negative terminal of the volt gauge, this is assuming you are retaining a positive ground. Then the plus terminal would have the switch that connects it to the tractor frame. To automate that you could ..ground.. it to the tractor frame using an oil pressure sender for a light. Simple closes a circuit to the tractor engine when the oil pressure is up.
Edit: Not to say what Glenn said is incorrect I am just telling you a handy way. You are replacing the amp gauge with a volt gauge I the same place. You need to have a junction terminal for those wires to be connected so you may as well use the terminal on your volt meter. And I am just guessing it has a terminal lug like the ammeter. Your old ammeter was a current conducting device across the terminals. Your volt meter only measures the voltage across the terminals. It would be like putting you test meter in there and expecting it to carry current to run the lights on your tractor. It does not even have enough resistance to run a dash light if your tractor had one. Hope this helps and just wanted you to understand the wire connection. In no way did I mean to say Glenn is not correct. Unlike some on here I read others post and try to fill in or clarify points. Not simply repeat what others say because I have no time to make consideration for their thoughts.
2nd edit: The oil pressure sender you need would not be for a light that would be backwards. You need an electric fuel pump cut out style. See link.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
