There is a very easy way, if you REALLY want to do this. Convert the tractor to 12 Volts. You have to decide, "antique show tractor", or a modernized tractor that's usable in today's world. You could mount a 12 Volt 1-wire alternator, connect it to the existing generator output wire, jumper the BATT and GEN wires together at the regulator, and add an ignition resistor, and a couple of other small details, and you'd be all set. Then keep the generator, and it would be a minor thing to convert it back to "parade queen" status, if you'd ever decide to. I considered suggesting a "stealth" conversion, where you'd have the generator rebuilt to produce 12 Volts, but for the loads you want to power, an alternator would be a MUCH better choice!
