Corey, to make SURE we're "all on the same page" here, go to John Smith's excellent site linked below and identify your tractor, FOR SURE.
If it is REALLY a 1950 model, (8N) the only electric gauge will be the ammeter which will work for 12 Volts, just switch the lead(s) 'cause of going from (+) to (-) ground.
Get an alternator for a mid-70's Chevy pickup with no AC, as it will have an INTERNAL voltage regulator.
If you don't want to use the diode and would rather have an "idiot light", simply replace the diode with the light. Use a #194 bulb (or one with equivalent current draw).
If the tractor is REALLY 1950 8N, it could have either a front-mount or side mount distributor.
Post back with that info for some information on how to deal with the ignition part of the 12 Volt conversion.
(Front mount, probably the best way is to buy an new (so called) 12 Volt coil and KEEP the dashboard mounted ballast resistor that was used with the (so called) 6 Volt coil. If a sidemount distributor, the easiest solution is to get a REAL 12 Volt coil such as a NAPA IC14SB.
