Always make sure your tractor is in "NEUTRAL" when playing around a starter.
See if you have 12 volts at the starter, it could be the solenoid on the starter or the starter itself.
It could also be ignition switch related or poor connections to the starter.
There are ways to "bypass" the solenoid on the starter, I prefer not to show or tell you how for safety reasons.
You could also remove the starter and test it or have it tested.
Good luck.

Check your ground cable where it attaches to the chassis, and make sure it is a good clean, tight connection.

Probably a bad cable connection as mentioned.
