9600 ford tractor starter problem

I put a new starter on my '74 9600 ford tractor, well I mounted it and connected the pos and neg to starter and manually engaged it with a screwdriver at the solenoid, and the starter stays engaged. I have only the BATT pos and neg connected. I thought, sloenoil problems. I took the starter off and took it to get checked, NAPA said it was good. I connected jumper cables to my trucks batt and connected to the starter on the floor, and it engages fine. anyone with knowledge on this, please help me. thks
 
Sounds like the solenoid is sticking to me!! What other work have you done to the tractor? Batteries possibly if so it most likely takes two 12 volts and you may have them hooked in series that makes 24volts causing an arc and making the solenoid stick. Hook up all your other wires and see what you have then. What was it doing that cuased you to change the starter?? Sometimes when you bolt on the battery cable to the solenoid it may touch one of the smaller primary terminals causing it to be activated.
 
thk for the info. well the starter was smoking when starting, solenoid was going bad. other than that, I just replaced the starter. I then replace the ign. switch cuz it was messing up. I thought I wired it wrong, but when I disconnected all the little wires except pos and neg. to see what it would do, It keeps engaged when I bypass with I screwdriver. could it be the sloenoid is reversed. it has a big batt / just a pos and neg post.
 
Sounds like a bad sol/switch... Probably another great product from the land of almost right.
See if you can take the damn thing back for refund, then go have ye humble Lucas rebuilt with whatever it needs IF you have an original Lucas starter.

If they won't do anything for you on the new starter, take the cap off the switch cautiously and clean the contacts, file them clean, etc. That may cure it.
I mean, there's only 2 cables and one control wire to that starter. There isn't much to hook up wrong. Actually, there's nothing to hook wrong...
Just make sure that the control wire doesn't some how touch the POS terminal on the starter...
