Re: Help... Won\'t Start (New Info)
If it isn't the cable connections from the battery to the starter, then my moneys says it is the contact bar in the solenoid. But your best move is to take it off and let the local starter shop clean it up. If the solenoid needs service it is probably brush time too. The starters rarely need bushes or bearings. Starter rebuilds are inexpensive and then it will be good for decades.

"I had one that did that and the starter was full of mud." Yes, mine was packed full of grass and grit. I've never understood how that much stuff could have gotten in there. Jim

The starter is on its way to the shop as we speak. The last think I did was to bypass the solenoid and hook power direct to the starter motor. (Off Tractor) I put negative to the case and positive to the the copper braided wire coming from the motor. El-zippo. Not even a gasp.
Thanks again all for your wonderful suggestions. After the rebuild / solenoid replacement I should be good for another 25 years... ;-)

<font color=black>Very thoughtfull of you to have it fixed correctly, rather than patching it. The next owner will greatly appreciate that!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
These tractor remind me of the old ford 9/2/8N tractors... they live long enough to have multiple 'partners'.
