Sandknob, be kinda careful and remove the screws that hold the cover on the regulator and looky in. See if contacts are Stuck/welded together. Sometimes if lucky, you can file dirtypoints clean again and they will work. Be careful on all the adjustments in therebecause if you tweek something, it has a drastic change in what kind of out put the generator will charge.
You say the battery was in neg ground, right? If that is the case, take the regulator off and see if it has any stampings on the bottom of the unit stating if its neg or pos grounded.
Glad to hear of your progress so far. Keep it up and you will have it working again. Its nice when things work like they should, specially when you get done doing the work yourself.
Oh, if you pull the light switch on while the tractor is off, does the amp gauge show discharge or charge? If it shows charge, then somebody tossed the battery in backwards. - At least usually when the decision is made to change from pos ground to negative ground the coil wires get switched, and the wiring on amp gauge does too.- But have seen where a fellow marked + - on the tractor by the gauge to show which way the needle ws suppose to go to show charge.
