Paul - A 10 SI alternator WILL run hot when operated at maximum amp output for more than a few minutes. And a low battery can cause this.
Try putting the battery on a charger overnight, then run the tractor again. A couple minutes after startup the ammeter should settle around 3 - 4 amps charge, and voltage across the battery should be between about 14.2 and 14.8 volts (lower temperature = higher volts)
If the voltage stays 13.8 to 14 and the ammeter reads high, problem is the battery not taking a charge and should be replaced. But if the voltage is within spec and the ammeter shows a few amps of charge there's a problem with the new alternator.
