I just reassembled my 1942 9n after replacing the clutch, flywheel and pressure plate. I also installed a new starter since my old one lost the drive gear. When I reconnected the starter switch cable to the new starter, the starter began cranking even though the key was off and the tractor was in gear! I had long ago removed the automotive ignition switch and replaced it with the original on/off switch and neutral start saddle. After pulling the cable off the starter, I took the tractor out of gear and reattached the cable with no attempted starts this time. I got in the seat and tried to crank the tractor but could only hear a few pops like arching wires. When I opened the fuel door so I could see what was going on, I could only see a few pops come from the positive terminal of the battery cable.
My tractor is a 12v negative ground and I had rewired it a few years ago according to the OEM specs and it had run great. Any ideas on what to check to troubleshoot?
