If you have a distributor, the tractor will likely die if you turn the lights on, or perhaps if engine is idled down to real low RPM because then you are using more juice than the generator is putting out. I think you have the right idea. Teach the kids when they are young. I learned alot when I was growing up, being around the old tractors.
