What model tractor are you talking about?

There are too many different scenarios to answer that question with such vague information given.

The original wiring would have had a plug with the wires in it to correctly align them but apparently there has been some modifications going on if you need to plug in individual wires. Plus there are different types of switches for different types of ignitions. 

The more detailed information you can provide, the better chance there is for getting the correct information.

Switch basics

The switch itself will have ID letters next to the poles on it

B=battery

S=starter

A=Aux (lights)

I =ignition or M=magneto ---  Correct switch depends upon which type of engine

I will take a wild guess that you are asking about the ignition switch on a 520-H. The wiring on various years of production of the 520-H saw some changes but the ignition switch and its wiring remained the same. If this is what you are working on the drawing below should head you in the correct direction. If you have further questions please feel free to ask us.

Would really help us help you if we knew the year/model of the tractor we are working on. Often times wire color means nothing as things changed over the years and PO changes. For example replacement switch pigtails colors will not correspond to tractor wiring colors. 

One must then wire according to wire & switch functions rather than color.
