Alternator? You could use 12v either ground with a mag system and no charging system, the tractor won't care, just don't run the starter a whole lot.
If your new tractor has been run any amount with the 6v battery in backwards its likely burnt the regulator, been there, done that.
6.44 isn't enough voltage to start, as you know. Sometimes when a 6v battery won't take charge I'll tap one of the charger clamps against the battery to make a little spark, had some take charge after that.
With that voltage you probably don't have a dead/reversed cell, maybe get a 6v power adapter like you'd use for a set of speakers or something, figure a way to adapt the little round plug to the battery and leave it on for day or so. Lots of times those little low amp chargers will recover a battery and give it a good deep charge. I've got some old 10ah camcorder batteries going through that treatment now. Also make sure your battery is full of acid, add distilled water as need.
You can also start the tractor with a little yank, it'll run even if the battery is pretty poor, heck you could probably wire up a 6v camcorder battery to run the tractor on as long as you don't need to start it or use the lights.

Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
