Working on this 8N ford tractor. When I tried starting it the starter solenoid stayed engaged and I had to remove the battery cable to get it stopped. I purchased a new solenoid (assumed old one was fried together) but when I installed the new solenoid now the starter button wont crank the engine. I looked up a wiring diagram and it shows only one wire going to the starter button. How does the starter button get power to engage the starter solenoid? What am I missing? all the wiring I can find tests good. Thanks for your help.
The new solenoid was from a auto parts store. Is the solenoid used on this tractor a special one that I will need to get some where else.
