I made the mistake of forgetting the disconnect the battery when I went to remove the voltage regulator from the shroud and in the process I let the voltage regulator touch the ground lug and as a result something blew.
(Circled in red is where the smoke came from, or at least in this general area)
(I put the voltage regulator back onto the shroud after blowing something but you can see circled in red where that ground lug touched the voltage regulator post labeled A, which runs under the shroud and to the flywheel)
Any ideas on what might have blown. All I know is I have no power at the voltage regulator (test light) and the starter is no longer functioning. I also tested the headlights as I knew those were previously working and also no power with test light. Did i just blow the entire tractors electrical system by making this dumb mistake or is there a fuse or something I need to scout for. Keep in mind there was a spark I believe but defintly a good amount of smoke pouring out of the area I circled in red in the first picture.
Thanks for any help in advance!
