Now when I pull out the choke, give it a little throttle and push the starter button, I get a huge flash of spark (larger than my hand) that comes out from the starter button when I push it in (on my Ford-Ferguson 9N). The "nice" mechanic also kept my book on 9Ns and says he "can't find it"  now.

Maybe they reversed the battery leads and you have a neg ground instead 
of pos. When you pushed the starter in, it would cause adirest short then.
