3-speeds.........dunnno!!! as I said most old tractor electrical systems are rather straight foward with no tricky bells and whistles and gottchas; altho I did suggest AFTER you gottchur new alternator installation working, cleaning up the excess/old genny and old alternator wiring. Iff'n ya JUMPED THE GUNN and started cuttin' before you had yer new alternator system fully checked out, then all betts are off.

As for your starter motor spinnin' but NOT spinnin' yer engine, this could be eather a low-charged 12v battery ...or... sticky oily starter bendix drive. Starter Bendix drives are made to be operated "SQUEEKY CLEAN". Any oil will slow down the bendix extenstion into the flywheel starter ring gear and grind. Me? I'd remove the starter attach bolts and pull the starter motor out just a bitt so I could use a straw nozzle BRAKE CLEANER squirt'em-up and flush/clean the bendix drive. The brake-cleaner is NON-OILY and dries squeeky-clean and doesn't harm the clutch disc and will dry out innna few minutes.

Of course, there is ALWAYS the possibility, that yer starter bendix has come apart inside yer tranny case and just won't connect to the flywheel. Many a tractor carrys "spare starter bendix parts" in their tranny/clutch housings without harm. Iff'n the bendix flush with brake-cleaner don't solve yer starter problem, time for an eyeball inspection........respectfully, Dell
