Billy, You will need the appropriate voltage regulator, a wiring diagram, maybe a new or right length belt. Not much wiring should need to be changed/ or added but with out looking at it I can't say for sure.
A generator should keep the battery charged if you use the tractor and run it at least 1/3 to 1/2 throttle, if you're going to use the tractor for show and parades it may not keep it charged. A generator needs to spin quite fast to charge but an alternator can charge at an idle. This is why so many put alternators on their tractors mainly because they don't use them and they never get much above an idle long enough to put an ample charge back into the battery.
I have a Farmall H that still has a 6 volt system with a generator. I use this tractor with a belly mower and it keeps the battery charged very well. This is because I run the tractor almost at full throttle when mowing for at least 45 minutes to an hour each time I mow.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
