I can't figure out this wiring

I lost the ignition key to my old Ford Jubilee tractor, so I rigged up a push botton ignition with a toggle switch. The problem is, the battery now drains over night. How can I wire this thing to keep the battery from draing?

The ign side of these works off of ground (when you push the start button on the trans it adds a ground so the system works)and you probably have something permanently grounded.
Put the system back original, you can't beat a key and a safety start in nuetral.

If it still had the original switch, the keys are "generic" and you could have got a new key for a buck or two, but chose to take a "better route"!

Is it "as original" or a 12-Volt conversion?

If it's "as-original" here's a diagram of how to put it back as it should be.

I thought I"d just do away with the key, but it seems the easier option here is just putting it back. Thanks for your help!
