super M wiring help for novice

Tractor wouldn't start so I decided to replace the battery. It was an old sears model that couldn't be matched up, so I measured the voltage. It measured 12 volts, so I bought a generic 12 volt battery. I looks like I still have a generator on the tractor (doesn't look like any alternator I've ever seen). I hooked it up as a negative ground and now the tractor only runs while the starter is turning? Is this supposed to be a positive ground? I didn't really pay attention as I've never seen anything positive ground before. The switch under the ammeter is gone. There is a black box under the ammeter which has four wires connected to it which I assume is the regulator. It's been siliconed shut. Before I break anything I shouldn't, any advice would be appreciated. I have the url for the wiring diagrams, but not sure mine matches any.
