Like the other gents noted if it has a Magneto that should have NO affect on the state (charge or discharge) of the battery. All a mag kill switch does is to electrically connect a mags kill terminal to frame ground when in the OFF position
AS far as the discharge, if its a very fast discharge and a working ammeter shows high discharge (and genny gets hot) after you turn off the tractor, that can be a sticking closed Cutout Relay. If thats the case if the belt were loosened the genny will spin like a motor but if you removed the wire off the VR or Cutout Relays BAT or GEN terminal it stops turning, THATS THE PROBLEM.
If its more of a slow trickle discharge and it takes a long time before the battery is discharged, theres a short somewhere. (or the battery itself is bad, have a shop test it) If thats the case and if you remove the battery cable she does NOT discharge THATS THE PROBLEM.
