You probably got an automotive type Ford solenoid. What you need is the 'AG' solenoid, from a NewHolland dealer. This solenoid is of the grounding type rather than the automotive type that requires live power from the key. The starter button is simply a switch that closes contacts with the chassis. The easiest solution is to get the correct relay.
If, for some obscure reason you can't get the proper relay, then you CAN wire this one to work by using a headlight (4RD) relay. What you do is take power off the hot side of the relay and wire it to the hot side of the 4RD, then wire the switched side of the RD to the 'S' terminal on the relay you have. On the control side of the 4RD you again take power from the 'hot' side of the relay and feed it to the input side of the 4RD, THEN take a wire from the starter button up to the ground of the 4RD. This leaves the wiring hot all the time except, then when you push the starter button to close the contacts, both relays close their contacts to run the starter. It's a rather complicated way of doign something simple... that can be done much more cleanly with the correct part. But, it will work if you're stuck.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
