Good morning will a bad voltage regulator stop a tractor from starting

No.

A regulator not allowing battery charge can see your battery too low in capacity to crank.

Charging the battery , or testing it; will tell if it is ready to crank.
If it's not your battery , it's not likely the voltage regulator.

You mention starting. Does that mean your engine is cranking but does not fire?
That puts you in the ignition system area. Vs. regulator/charging system.

If it came factory with a regulator (mounted on side of engine rather than on top of generator), yes, but rarely happens. On those models the L lead from the regulator provided power for lights, ignition, etc. A bad connection on that lead on the bottom of the regulator can prevent spark, but lights will also be out. If it has a key start, may also prevent cranking, but not if pull rod start, unless battery has run down.

No. But your battery won't charge. Just teplaced our voltage regulator last week. I've never seen a charging needle as far to the right!
