Here's how things turned out.
I pulled all of the monitors and the fuse box out of the cab but still had the drain. I checked the exciter wire from the ignition and it was dead when the switch was off like it should be. The only way I could get the draw to go away was pull the two prong connector off the alternator. I started fiddling and when I would hook up just terminal "1" to the battery lug I got a small spark. Drain. I started to wonder if the alternator hadn't been wired backwards. I pulled the wires out of the plug and flipped them around. Fixed. It shouldn't be right, but everything works perfectly. The exciter wire is on terminal "1" and terminal "2" is tied to the battery lug. It is the reverse of every tractor here (and the way it was on the old alternator) but it works perfectly. Go figure.
