The wiring to the field, armature, to and thru the tractor chassis, and battery all have to be in good shape for the SG to charge with the field grounded. However, the SG is acting as motor to start the engine. Sooooooo... that leads me to believe the main battery cables to the chassis and to the SG are good.
I'm betting my lunch money on something internal to the SG. As you said - we will see later on today.
