I have an M602 that's been sitting 10+ years. It was running when my MIL broke the bearing cage off the front end. Got that fixed. Engine isn't locked down. Put the battery on it and everything seemed fine. Spun the starter. Quit for the day. Came back the next day with fluids. Prepared to try to start it. The battery + terminal arced to the + cable when I pushed the cable on, and the blue wire from the starter button post on the starter to the ammeter got hot, and smoke escaped at the ammeter/wire terminal location. I know nothing about tractor wiring, except that this tractor has been converted to an alternator. I know that the blue wire is and should be hot. Should the yellow wire from the ammeter to the alternator also always be hot? If not what do I look for as the potential problems? If so, where else do I start looking for the drain? Thanks for any help provided.
