It would help if you posted a picture of the switch. You need to determine if the tractor has a magneto or a distributor on the engine. If it's a distributor you are going to need battery voltage fed to the coil and distributor. That is usually fed from a switch near the tractor driver to the coil and to the distributor. The mag has a grounding wire that will ground out the mag to stop the engine. It doesn't require any battery voltage at all. If there's a small cylinder shaped device with some wires attached to it could be a coil. The big wire out this will go to the distributor. You need to clean all those battery posts and cables until nice and shiny. That includes the where the is grounded on the tractor and at the starter. It should then crank
but, may not start. If its 6 volts they usually use the + battery terminal as ground. Hal
