Last May I wrote several messages here because my 966 wouldn't crank. I had the starter rebuilt finally. Checked batteries, cleaned everything, and then it just came to life after I removed and reinstalled the starter. Yesterday same symptoms. Bright lights, good gauges, just a sharp pop, but not crank. After removing batteries, charging them, cleaning all the terminals. same result. On a hunch I jacked up one rear side,( not easy when they are frozen in the soil/ice). Rotated the tire/wheel 90 degrees and hit the stater. Fired off in about 2 revs. What is causing this? I had the engine heater plugged in, but I had not run the tractor since late NOV. It was 20 degrees ambient air temp. As a kid I remember the old "flat spot" on the Ford flathead starter. Just bump the car in 3rd gear and off you go. Is this similar?
