I think the first thing would be to remove the starter, lay it down on the floor and connect it with jumper cables to a known good battery. If the starter is good, it should spin right up and maybe be just a little wild. Be sure to notice if the starter drive advances out to the end, and then comes back in when you disconnect from the battery. If it passes that test, put it back on the tractor and give it a try. It is possible that the drive got stuck in some worn teeth on the flywheel, and that is why the starter won't turn. It is also possible that the starter drive itself has gone bad. The drive can be replaced. The starter button getting hot and smoking is because of a bad starter button, or poor connections. Also, a weak battery can make you think that maybe the starter is bad, so make sure the battery is fully charged. I know I'm kind of rambling here, just want to make sure the starter is not good before you replace it. New, not rebuilt, starters are readily available. Send me an email if you have questions.
