Do you have a volt meter?? If so, Take a voltage reading across battery with the tractor running. If it reads 13.5 volts dc or higher, its charging. If it reads 12,6 vdc or lower, it is not charging the battery and thats what is wrong. Also check for bare wires that may be shorting and draining the battery.

You might check the voltage regulator too, since that's the component that should be keeping this from happening.
