Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums and I acquired an 8N that was converted to 12 volts by someone before me. The tractor became hard to start. It had an automotive push button starter and the wires started melting and smoking, so I decided to rewire the tractor. I looked at several online wiring diagrams, ordered a wiring harness, and rewired the tractor. Please bear in mind that automotive type electrical wiring is way over my head. I replaced the coil, points, condenser, resistor block, voltage reducing resistor, diode, ignition switch, original type starter button, plugs and plug wires. However, I must have something wrong. I turn on the ignition key and push the starter button and nothing happens and yes, it"s in neutral. The way I have it wired is nowhere near the way the person before me had it wired. They only had two wires on the alternator, the top #1 wire was just dangling loose and starter button was wired directly to the starter. Also, do I even need the voltage reducing resistor? Attached is a photo of the way I have it currently wired. What do I have wrong? Thanks in advance for any advice.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
