How did you go about doing the job? Did you use loctite? Remove the flat washers? I'll be putting mine back together soon when the crank shaft comes in and only want to do it once.
thanks,
Tony

Tnrobnz,
Check the wires at the starter and make sure the small(solenoid) wire is not touching the battery cable terminal. Buy a test light(not a powered one) which will allow you to test the system. Right now you are using the starter as a test light and it sounds like when the tractor starts the starter is still turning which isn't the best for the starter. If the small wire is not touching the battery cable, take the small wire off of the starter. Clip your test light to ground and touch the positive battery cable to verify that your test light lights up. Then touch the(solenoid) small wire with the test light. If it lights the test light with the ignition switch in the off position then there is power being supplied to the solenoid wire at the wrong time and we will go up to the ign switch next to test that. If the test light does not light up then turn the key to the start position and it should light up.

Things to look for:
If there is power to the small wire when the ign swith is off, disconnect the small wire at the ign switch and the light should go off. If not then the small wire is making contact(shorted to power) somewhere in the wiring loom on the way down to the starter.

If there is no power to the wire then you have to test the ignition switch and ign switch connections. Here's how: Using your test light, with the ignition switch in the off position, touch all the wires to the ign switch(the small solenoid wire is still disconnected from the switch). (1)The wire that lights up the test light is the batt wire and should be connected to the batt terminal on the switch. There should be no power to any of the other terminals on the switch with the key in the off position, if there is then the switch is bad. (2) Turn the switch to on or run. The ign terminal should be the only terminal to light the test light. (3) Turn the key to start. The solenoid/start terminal should light up and the light will go off when returned to the on position. The ign terminal on the switch will still be on too. In the glow plug position the ign and glow plug terminal should light up the test light.

This is how I would go about troubleshooting the starting system at this point in your dilemma.
