My 240 was the same way when I got it. Can't help with the starter but I know what fixed mine. Both of my battery cables were way too small, they were too long, and they had the clamp on replacement ends, all of which adds up to lots of resistance. That tractor turned over fine when it was new, it should now. Find brand new cables that are just the right length, are 0 or 00 gauge, and have soldered on ends. Cables for a 12 volt application will not work, you need something much heavier. Keep the battery terminals shiny, sand any paint or rust off where the ground cable attaches. I even sanded the washers and the nut that hold the cable to the starter. As long as the battery and the starter are in shape she will spin just fine. Hope this helps.
