When I got my SC I had the same problem. I took every wire connection on the whole tractor and checked it with an OHM meter. I found that almost every connection had a little trouble. I took every connection apart and cleaned them. Then I took the started apart and used a wire brush and a can of electrical cleaner and all I did was clean everything inside the starter. In fact it took me two cans of cleaner. I put it together and it worked perfectly just like new. Now I can start it even bellow zero and it fires right up.
I also have a 41 A / 49 SA hybrid that has a Mag but no other electrical stuff, besides a starter. It has only started with a hand crank for the last 30 years that I know of. I took the starter off of it and cleaned it like I did the SC and now it will start with the starter.
To make a long story long, I think you should go through the electrical system, clean it good and take the starter apart and clean it. I think you will be pleased at how well it will work by just cleaning it. Ron
