You can do some figuring with these formulas to see in reality how much voltage was reaching your starter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohms_law
Kossuth:
You are exactly right. Someone had patched the battery box bottom (and sides) years ago. When they did, they put in a new floor which did not have access for the ground strap. So, they ran a ground cable up to the rear gas tank support - much longer than the original strap which bolted to the center rear deck bolt (from under seat battery box). When I bought the tractor I was in a rush to get it started and loaded, so I duplicated the existing cable arrangement with new cables. So, my tractor had two rather long cables. Not good. I am glad I got my cranking problem fixed, and even more pleased if I have helped others with their problems.
