You'll need a resistor with a value between about 12 and 40 ohms, and rated at 1 watt or higher. However to wire in a "Radio Shack" resistor in you will need to solder it, same as if you use a diode.

My preference however is to use a lamp - especially if others are gonna be running the tractor. I've mounted lamps by drilling a small 14 ga sheet metal scrap, mounting the lampholder in the sheet metal piece then bolting the whole business to the steering post under one of the mounting bolts for the ammeter box.

Punch below for a wiring diagram. If you elect to use a resistor simply wire it in place of the lamp in the diagram...
