In neutral, brakes locked, with the ignition off. Use a battery cable about a foot or so long, and jump the solenoid from the starter side to the battery side. Be careful to put the end of the cable in contact with the starter side first, then the battery side (this reduces the chance of hitting a ground and making a hole in something). There will be sparks if the jump is successful, but the starter will spin if it is good. If this produces no starter motion, either the tractor's battery cables are not connected cleanly, or they are bad. Many solenoids click, but fail to actually connect the power through them (even new ones can be bad). Some customers clean up their old parts and return them to the store and get a refund. Then they are resold as new to the likes of me. Good luck finding the problem, JimN
