I hope I'm not too late to get into this discussion. I have a 1968 Farmall 544 diesel. The fuel control knob has three positions: All the way in --engine running, all of the way out--shut-off, two thirds of the way out--excess fuel for starting. The 544 gas uses one 12 volt battery. The 544 diesel uses two 6 volt batteries. I don't know the group number of the batteries but they should each be 600 cold cranking amps or better. Check your battery cables. If someone swapped in a lesser guage after-market cable, the starter may not be getting the amperage it needs.
