Okay, I will admit this is very different than cars and trucks. I have hit a wall and need advice. I have the parts manual and operators manual for this tractor (direct from Ford) and it doesn't seem to help me. I need a schematic or explicit information on the electrical system here. I knew I might have some problems, especially after reading how the positive lead goes to ground! I bought the tractor with my house. It has been 'half' rebuilt and there are things such as wiring that aren't connected completely. My wiring is as follows....negative terminal from battery leads to ?starting block. From the same terminal on the block, a yellow wire goes to the ammeter, from the ammeter to the resistor block, from the resistor block to the light switch (and then the return circuit). Another wire goes from the resistor block into the tube to either the coil or the generator. The colors aren't discernable. Back to the apparent starting block.....the opposite terminal apparently goes to the starter??? This is a wire that is not connected. The starter has a solenoid/relay switch on top and its terminal directly on the starter so I am probably missing a wire from the relay to the starter motor? Next, there is another wire (yellow, but can't tell what colors are up front) from the front of the engine (?coil ?generator) which connects to an unknown (?regulator) round after market piece. From this, another yellow wire runs ?to the starter solenoid/relay???
Sounds confusing and a tall order but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I guess I should have searched the site first. I found exactly what I wanted at>Link
The>Link only question is about the solenoid/relay switch that is mounted on the starter. I don't see any reason for it. Also, in the diagram it shows a 'keyed' switch which I don't have. Is this standard or it it merely a possible safety feature I may add?

Thanks again.

Jay, Ignition Switch (KEY) is standard, used to turn tractor on/off.

The Old Starter Switch may be bad but it has a mechanical interlock that prevents Starting if the tractor is in gear (safety feature). You could Kludge the wiring to use the old one to turn-on the Selenoid mounted on starter.

Hope This Helps,

Okay, by saying that the key ignition is standard, you mean that there should be one present then. There is none present now, nor is there any spot for it on the console. On the console there is the ammeter and the oil pressure gauge and this is all. The only starting mechanism is the start switch, which I could add a keyed switch to or override it completely. Secondly, I still have the solenoid mounted on the starter which isn't apparently used, but I suppose it could if I put in a keyed ignition switch. Is this what you meant?
