I am currently at my wits end with this thing. Tractor has been in the family a while. I inherited it last year. I immediately had issues with the starter burning out and a battery drain. My uncle swore there was no need to change from the 6 volt starter. After 3 of those, I switched to a 12 volt starter and it solved the drain issue too. It works like crazy. Love this tractor. Fast forward a year in a half. I was working late one night, so I flicked the headlights on. 5 minutes later the wiring caught fire under the gauges where the headlight switch is. It burned up the solenoid too. It got hot enough that the wires burnt completely through. So here I am trying hard to figure out where everything goes. I have a new ignition cylinder, solenoid, wires, terminals, headlight switch, ammeter. Can anyone post a 12volt wiring diagram for this tractor? I can't seem to find one. The only thing I've changed is eliminated the push button for starting. I am probably going to grab a new terminal block tomorrow too. I have a single wire alternator, clutch safety switch(has two wires) to take into account too. I'm at a loss where things are supposed to go as the previous ignition cylinder was completely melted on the back, as was the ammeter. Battery checks out okay.
