Keep in mind as long as the regulator is working, an oversize alternator should not overcharge or otherwise harm the battery. Just don't let the battery go dead and then jump start it the tractor (is. so the alternator sends full output into a dead battery). And make sure the wire that connects to the alt BAT terminal is heavy enough (#10 AWG minimum).
