I just purchased a 52 8N with an 8 volt battery.
I was attempting to start the tractor, without success. When pushing in the starter button, the engine turned over fine, but would not start. After checking the obvious,I found the key switch was in the OFF position. Go figure!
Now when I push the starter button, nothing happens. HELP

Richard, expound a bit on "when I push the starter button, nothing happens". Any sounds,starter whirling,solenoid click,dead silence?

Charge the battery?

And...The 8-Volt was put in there as a 'band-aid' for something else...Factory new it had a 6-Volt Positive Ground System...

First...let's wire past the switch and see what happens. Then let me know and we can go from there. Of course, I know you have gas in the tractor and have cleaned the gas filters..including the one at the fuel inlet to the carb its self. Has the tractor ran before? Have you tried pull starting it? If you try pull starting be sure that you have good communication with the 'tow operator', that you tow it on ground not pavement and that you attempt to start it in 3rd gear. Have a super new years.
