Getting very frustrated

I finally got my 2n running and decided to do a little brush hogging. Made a few rounds and it just died. Tried starting again and it turned over a few then nothing. I thought maybe the battery went dead so I put it on the charger over night. Went out today put the battery back in the tractor and nothing. So I pulled out the trusty test light and was getting nothing to the starter, ignition switch or push button start when the key was on. When I turn the key off and check these things I get light on the test light. I changed out ignition switch with a toggle switch I had and put in a new push button starter and still same problem. Any ideas as what is causing this? Thanks.
 

Had similar trouble with my early 8N (SN suggests a '47 build), bush hogged all day with it and when I shut it off nothing would restart it. Just had to work through the ignition and the carb to get it going. My problem was a combination of a dirty carb and a float with a hole in it and need for a good tune up. Don't throw a bunch of parts at it until you know what you need.
