Yeah - either the regulator is poorly grounded or else it is shot. Try this in order:

1 - Run a temporary ground wire from the grounded battery post to the regulator base (not to the regulator mounting base but to the metal relay frame.) Now run the tractor and see if it charges. If it does, arrange some sort of permanent ground connection to the regulator relay frame.

2 - If the above doesn't help, with the engine running at speed first ground the regulator "FLD" terminal. Then jumper the "BAT" and "ARM" terminals at the regulator (this connection may carry 15 amps or more - expect a bit of a spark!).

If jumpering causes the generator to charge it's time for a new regulator. If it does not, the problem's with the generator.
