The original setup can be easily improved. OEM Deere used a special ignition switch with built-in resistor bypass and a resistor wire. On the OEM switch - terminal #4 goes to the resistor wire on to the coil.
Save yourself some trouble. Make sure you've got the OEM type non-built-in resistor coil. Mount a good ballast resistor near the coil - you can buy one any good auto parts store for less than $10. Then - hook the IGN of the key-switch to one side of the resistor, the other side of the resistor to the + side of the coil. Then, run a wire from the "R" terminal on the starter solenoid to the + side of the coil - and you're all set.
If you don't use an equivalent to the OEM 6 volt coil - you're apt to have cold-weather starting problems.
