I was tightening up the starter post terminal when the post twisted. Of course the tractor wouldn't start and I took the starter a part and found the problem. I broke the leads on the post. It looks to me that the post can be solders. Can I fix it myself?

I rebuilt the starter on my SH and installed new field coils. I took it to a local starter shop and they soldered it up to the new post for $10

A couple weeks ago I posted for Old to use a carbon arc powered from the battery. You can make the carbon arc.

600 Watt iron? That's BS! Find an antique "soldering copper" which will make the job "child's play"!

I think Old's answer is operational. As is a propane torch with a soldering tip. There is substantial mass in the bolt and heavy copper leads, but it is within the range of a 600 watt iron. I have all sizes from 35 watt pencils to 750 watt electric coppers for sheet metal seaming, and they work well. (metals lab at the university)
The biggest issue may be getting enough remaining lead for the connection to be sound and within the gap of the stud. Do not try to bridge the gap with solder. I'll also recommend silver based solder to conduct better than lead, with a bit higher temp. JimN

The common man doesn't own a soldering iron/gun that come close to being able to do that job right. It takes one say 600 watt and or bigger to do the job. BTDT and so far I have never had any luck doing it

You can buy a new stud kit at any automotive electrical shop for about 6 bucks. It comes with the new stud, insulators, & nuts. It requires a big, hot solder iron to get the job done right.
