I have replaced my battery, starter, and alternator. My battery continues to die. I have checked every wire and every fuse. Does anyone know anything else that could cause this?

I would also check the belt.

Check to see if amps are actually going into the battery when charging.

Would also check to see if battery is discharging when tractor is off.

Am assuming that the battery is correctly sized for cold starting amps.

Here is a quick and simple way to check if the alternator is working with out any special tools, all you need is a piece of metal that a magnet will stick to, like a simple screw driver.
Pull the hood or sides to make it easy to get to the alternator when it's running, start the tractor, turn on the lights, and touch the screw driver to the back center of the alternator if it "sticks" like to the magnet, even slightly, it's charging.
Start there and report back. ;)
