The negative side of the battery should have a heavy battery cable going from a quality battery terminal to ground (preferably on a starter mount bolt. This battery cable should be at least 2 gauge wire. It supplies the complete ground system for the tractor. No "extra" wires should be between those connections. (I think this is the main issue) From the positive terminal of the battery there should be one battery terminal only hooked to the same size 2 gauge cable, no other connections. The other end of this cable goes to the starter relay (solenoid it is often called). That relay should have 4 terminals 2 big and 2 small. The small terminals are labeled S and I. (If only 3 all is well) The S terminal goes to the push button for starting, 12 ga is good. The big terminal close to the S terminal goes to the above mentioned + battery cable. That big terminal also has a #10 wire hooked to it going to the amp meter (only there). The Other big terminal on the relay goes to a metal connector attached to the starter input terminal. The "I" terminal on the relay goes to the ignition coil + side. It is to bypass the ignition resistor giving the coil full voltage. If this is not there we will worry about it later, it is not needed if the coil is a full 12v coil with no resistor required. Get this wiring correct and lets go from there. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Fair Weather Tractor - by Dave M.. No, Fair Weather isn't some rare brand. It's the kind you can't leave out in the rain. Here's how it happened. I had been casually looking for a tractor for weeks. I saw a few 9N's, but they had even fewer amenities than the 8N my Grandpa bought new in '52 with a Dearborn loader. That was 10 years before I was born, so I grew up thinking that 8N was the world's best tractor. Grandpa had greenhouses, with over half an acre under glass, and that 8N did almost everything. It was the only
