There are two power feeds to the lights on a 24 volt JD light system. One 12 volt positive ground and one 12volt negative ground. These are hooked into the battery system at the starter. So if you did NOT get the small wires back in the correct places on the starter solenoid then the lights will not work right. It sounds like you missed one of the power feed wires on the starter.
Open the panel that the light switch is in. There should be a circuit breakers on the back side of this panel. Take a test light and see if some of them are without power. Then look at the wire colors and trace them back to the starter solenoid. You may have hooked all of them back correctly but one may have came out of an connector or some thing.
To really tell you should be able to see any "extra" wires around the starter you missed hooking up. If nothing jumps out your going to need a wiring diagram and see what goes where.
The JD 24 volt system is not too complicated IF you under stand it is actually two 12 volt systems hooked to a 24 volt starter. So you have to watch loading one of the 12 volt systems and not the other. This is why some of the light feed off of each system.
An example: I had a JD 5020. I wanted a fender mounted radio. I just hooked to one set of batteries giving me 12 volt positive ground power. The radio would slowly drain that one set of batteries. The reason being the voltage regulator saw one side was up to full charge. So it would not charge the low side with out the high side needing it. I wired a light bulb to the positive ground side that would come on when the radio was on. It balanced the lad and the voltage regulator would keep both systems charged.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
