Hi Guys,
When I installed a new Ignition Switch I was not totally sure what port on the resistor block the switch was wired to so I guessed. (should have looked more closely before unscrewing things)
When I went to start my tractor it would not start. I tried and tried, then finally switched a "unknown" switch then tried starting it and it started right up. However I'm concerned as to what that switch even does. It was added by someone else and is not on anyones wiring diagrams that I have seen. Also I'm concerned that the wiring is wrong all together because this is how the guy had it wired and it's not matching peoples diagrams even if you don't factor the "unknown switch". I would like to wire it correctly but don't know what to do with the "unknown" switch.
To make matters worse I don't think the battery is charging anymore.
I have attached a diagram I drew up. This is as you see it looking through the battery door. My tractor is a 1942 9N 6 volt.
I would like advice on what purpose that "unknown" switch has, why it effects the tractor starting, can I remove it, and the correct way to wire it all.
