I know this sounds stupid, but my Farmall H will not crank. I replaced the battery and put a new started button on, but the starter motor doesn"t even click.
I rocked the tractor back and forth to see if the throwout gear was stuck. Nothing.
Finally, I took the starter motor to be rebuild. Previously I had hooked up an electric charger to the starter motor in START mode and the starter motor didn"t budge.

What do you guys think...was the starter just bad or could something else cause this. I can"t think of anything else. Everything is connected.
