This may be a little too much, but... What about taking of the generator and just taping up all the wires for the tractor system and put on a Delco 12 volt 10si alternator (or what ever you may have avalible) and use that to power the inverter and then put 12v lamps of the front of the tractor that just clamp on (probably less than 10 bucks at walmart) and then run them through the battery for the inverter and use a light switch that I am sure you have sitting around in the pantry to control the front lights. It sounds like a lot, but when you think about it, it is just an alternator, headlights (and you may be able to use the originals with new bulbs, which are not expensive in most cases if they are the removable) and then you have a little bit of 14 guage and maybe some 12 guage wiring from the alternator to the battery (which you would probably want to mount somewhere on the tractor, like bungy it to the existing battery box). The tractor battery should have enough charge to get about 10 starts out of it easily. Hurst
