Only 103 Acres here. I started with contacting someone to pay for marketable timber. Deal was 60/40 giving me the 60%. I used those funds to rent a 650 Dozer to knock down trees I didn't want. With the dozer I could also pop the stumps out like wine corks with the blade (right side corner tip)...

I lose power nearly every time it snows so after years of research, trial and error, I found that cotton balls covered in Vaseline works great. Soften the Vaseline and dip the cotton balls in it. It solidifies again soon after. It only takes one to get the fire going. I keep a jar of them in my...

Did all that and still nothing 🤔

New starter, battery, solenoid and ignition. I'm baffled.

Nothing. Key still goes "click" and won't turn over.

PS. The cables are connected red to red and blue to black which is how Les Schwab connected the battery.

Ok. I'll keep checking this and trying your suggestions. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll try that today. I'm at my waits end on this.

I've checked and rechecked it. If anyone knows a tractor mechanic 50 miles North of Seattle, PLEASE let me know? 🤞 Thanks so much for your suggestions!

SO much knowledge on here! I thank each of you for trying to help me with this shiny red boat anchor. I ~ALWAYS~ put in neutral when parked. A neighbor suggested I try spraying starter fluid on something? This has been so very frustrating for me. There are zero tractor mechanics near me so I...

Key in and turned on doesn't change anything. Still just the spinning sound.

The YouTube videos said the screwdriver start was if you didn't have a key. So I need to turn the key to "on"? Sorry, but I've never had to repair a tractor before. I so appreciate the help!

No, the key wasn't in the ignition at all. With the screwdriver I just got sparks and hear spinning. It's not like it's just turning over and won't start like with a car. Does that make sense?

Thank you for your help. I'm now able (with a screwdriver) to get it to make a "spinning" noise? Battery is new 2 weeks ago and I took it back in yesterday to have it checked. The battery and cables aren't the issue. All the Youtube videos on "what to do if your tractor won't start" all use a...
