Tanner's 1944 H is still dead-Update!

I was able to get it to turn over on another one of my feeble attempts. I could again, let go of the starter button and it would keep trying to turn over but never fired. It seemed that it was doign it by itself this time and then would stop after 5 seconds or so. I'm serious when I say that if somebody wants to see the sights in DC for a couple of days and at the same time come help me to get this tractor running I would be greatful. Shoot me an email at tannerc22@yahoo.com if you want to plan a trip soon. Thanks.

Replace if this doesn't fix it. If it does, seal the hole with a dab of blue silicon gasket sealer.

If your starter is drawing 800 or more amps, the tractor won't start (it has such low voltage that there is little spark) a starter draw gauge which is placed on a battery cable (without cutting into it) is available from most auto parts stores for less than $15 new brushes, bushings, and shaft size check should make it new.
