NO, never seen one wired like that, lets analyze what you said:
"The positive goes from the battery to one side of the solenoid."
That's what you would find on a NORMAL correct wired tractor that's NEGATIVE GROUND. On those + of Battery to starter solenoid, - of Battery to frame ground. i.e. Negative Ground
HOWEVER ON YOURS you say
"The other side of the solenoid goes to the frame."
In that case, if the solenoid engages then IT HAS THE BATTERY + TO FRAME GROUND IE POSITIVE GROUNDED
"The negative post on the battery goes to the hot lug on the starter"
In that case the battery - post is direct to the starter lug and to operate the starter its case/frame needs to be connected to the batterys other + post WHICH HAPPENS IF THE SOLENOID IS ENGAGED.
IT GROUNDS VIA THE STARTERS CASE FRAME (via solenoid) JUST LIKE ANY NORMAL SET UP and the batterys other post is to the lug SO IT WORKS ALMOST LIKE NORMAL LOL.
PS Did Billy Bob or his know it all brother in law Bubba wire that over a case of beer???????????????? When questioned they always respond HEY IT WORKS and you gotta give it to em, yep it does lol
