John Deere 318 Starter Replacemet Issue

[Bret Weymouth]

I have a John Deere 318 with the Onan motor. The starter went out last year when I installed a new battery. The windings must have went to ground on the starter. Everytime I hooked the battery up it would pop becauce the started was grounded out. A year later last weekend I pulled the motor and installed the new starter and new battery. Last year I pulled the solinoide and do not remeber how the wires go back. I have a red and when I check it with a voltage meter it goes to ground. I have a purple and when I turn the key it goes to ground. Then I have a white wire that is a ground. All three of these wires are light gauges wires that have boots on them and slide over the solinoide post and there is a 25 amp circuit breaker that goes right next to the solinoide with 2 post. Seems like I am miising a wire and can not find it. I also bought a new solenoide and ignition switch today. NO luck.
