When you say powerless do you mean no voltage or no mechanical movement of the starter. Anyway I would start with a volt meter. DC+ lead to tractor frame and start with the DC- lead from the battery and go farward thru the kill switch and on to the coil and to the points. Points need to be open and you should have 6+ all the way. Next with the DC- lead put it on the starter where the lead from the starter buttom ties to the starter. If you don't have 6+ volts there then the starter buttom or the battery + lead is loose from the frame or a bad battery connection. If it's mechanical then do what the other guy said your starter is locked up to the flywheel and you have to break it loose by rocking the tractor. The bendex may be locked in to the rain gear.
