Brian,
I won't try to respond to all your questions in one bite, but will offer a few ideas.
Voltage:
1. A full charge "6 Volt" battery would have 6.4 volts. A battery measuring 6 volts would be a dead battery.
2. After the tractor is started, the charge voltage should increase as the battery charges. The battery should be fully charged at about 6.8v. The charge voltage should not be allowed to exceed 7.5v. If you had 7v, it indicates you must have some generator action.

Connect a voltmeter to the battery and record the voltage. Start the tractor and the volage should increase. If it does, then the battery is getting a charge.

By the way, you need a voltmeter which allows you to accurately measure at least tenths of a volt (ie. 6.5v)
