I had trouble starting my tractor (49 M) during the last cold spell. So, I waited till it warmed up to start the tractor and it worked after I tapped the battery connectors down some. I then decided to put new light bulbs because the tractor had burnt bulbs that were not for Dim and High. In doing this I replaced the wires from top two light with 14 gauge wire (one with black wire(right light) and one with red wire (left)- this is what was there before-very old and rough wiring.) The lights worked just great. I went out the next morning and the tractor started just fine but after working it during the morning it would not start again. The tractor would not turn over. So I adjusted the battery cables but still nothing. I think the starter may have gone out. Every time, I would hit the starter the battery would pop. Since then I taken the battery off and charged it and I would like to get it going this afternoon. First, When I bought the tractor it had a 12 volt battery attached. I assume this means it has been set up for a 12-volt conversion but please correct me if I am wrong, because I've never worked with either. I don’t know what sized battery cables I have but the metal to metal contact looks good. Also, the other wiring is all old, but looks good enough. Are there any suggestion to go through this step by step before I start looking for a starter. Thank you help in advance. Scott
