Better check your wiring sounds like you have a wire on the wrong spot on the solenoid.

Sounds like you have the solenoid on back wards. I.E if you remove it and put the battery cable on the side you now have on the starter and the starter side to the battery if it is the correct solenoid it should then work as it should

The starter button on the 8N controls the ground to the starter solenoid. Your solenoid is already grounded through the frame, so you need to un-ground the solenoid somehow and hook a wire to the start button so the it will activate the solenoid by closing the ground.
The other way to do it is to use a relay to control the hot wire to the start solenoid. Power in to relay at 86, ground (start button) at 85. Power in to load at 30, load out at 87. This WILL make it work the way its supposed to. I have wired a couple 8Ns and 800s this way, so it does work. Not original, but sometimes easier than isolating the start solenoid.

I thought his tractor was upside down!
do know 8Ns ....but this thread/responses leave me wondering what the jabber is about??!! Ground wire from starter to solenoid??? Installed backwards makes it crank when battery cable connected?? And so on.
It only has 3 connections (no electrical ground through its mounting exist).
Reversing battery / starter big terminals will NOT make it want to crank all the time. It will make it do NOTHING.
Please detail what you really have Corey.
