Because it does nothing, And the starter is not connected to anything but the battery and the big switch, here is the diagnosis procedure:
A cheap volt meter is needed Digital is OK but a meter with a needle is better.
With the tractor in Neutral, and brakes locked, put the meter on volts and set to the next higher volts than the battery. Ground the positive lead and touch the other to the starter terminal at the starter. Push the big button, if there is voltage there, the starter is open. Take a plastic faced mallet, or block of wood and a regular hammer and whack the starter at the end not bolted on. Do not hit to maim, hit to jar it. Then try the Switch again. If nothing, the starter is bad and needs to be rebuilt. Brushes springs, drive, and bushings.
If it turns now it needs the above because the fact that it turns means that the brushes are bad and you just gave them one last attempt at starting.

I there is no volts, the cable or switch is bad, or the ground cable is bad. Test all connections back to the battery for volts Switch on when it is in the circuit. It is that simple.

If it has a mag, do the take the wire off thing and then try it. JimN
