Sounds like the regulator is sticking and draining the battery and may have burned up the field coils and/or the armature in the generator by now. When the battery voltage drops below about 8 volts because the generator is not charging, it will not fire the coil strong enough to sustain engine speed more than a low idle rpm. When you charge the battery enough by jumping it off to crank it you put some voltage back in the battery to run a while. Sounds like the generator and regulator need checking and probably repairing and don't forget to polarize the regulator. If it is to be a working tractor why not install one of the GM one wire alternators for 12 volts and save a lot of money and hassle ? Gene Davis
