Hello I am hoping someone can help me or possibly (JMOR). I bought a ford 9n maybe it's a 2n or 8n I was told it was a 9n but not 100% sure. I followed a guy by the user name JMOR from this site and used his wiring diagram and when I hooked up the 12v battery and turned on the key and the wires smoked and burned up. I am new to the tractor fixing world and I could use some help. A little info on the tractor- I bought the tractor for $500 from a farmer that was selling his home and moving he told me all the tractor needed was a new battery, the points to be replaced and the alternator replaced I replaced all of those with no luck of it starting I then replaced the volt gauge, the head light switch, key/ ignition switch, 12volt coil, distributor cap, and the resistor block still no luck. I then rewired the tractor thinking that this must be the issue. When I finished wiring the tractor I hooked the battery up and turned the key on it then smoked and burned the wire going to the key start. Does anyone know what the problem could be thank you
I followed this diagram below
