Sounds like a good plan. I prefer a gen light (even a hidden one) over a diode because of the unnecessary extra load the diode places on the ignition switch and wiring. A diode will "full field" the alternator, about 3+ amps draw, which almost doubles the load on the ignition switch and wiring, which can cause weak spark and hard starting. A generator light adds less than 1/4 amp load to the ignition circuit, yet is plenty to excite the alternator. Please use an insulated terminal to connect to the #1 excite terminal,(and / or the #2 sense terminal) as it runs so close to the alternator case that an accidental tug on that wire could short it to the alt case. Buy a GM harness repair plug kit from the auto parts store, buy a plastic insulated terminal or add a bit of shrink tubing to cover a bare spade connector to make it safe.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
