Obviously, your starter has a leak... all electrical components RUN on smoke. They all have a finite amount of smoke in them that lasts a long time, but as soon as the smoke is let out, eg, from a leak, they quit. I know this is true from first hand experience with welders, radios, microwaves, starters, and toasters. Some items evidently ALSO run on flames. Fortunately, these are few and far between, but when the flames leak out, the results can be disasterous. Case in point, my wife's toaster. Not sure what she did, but she managed to let the smoke AND the flames out of the toaster almost simultaneously. Somehow, I believe the electrical cord was where the leak started. That reminds me. Perhaps you should have a fireman look at your starter... One diagnosed the faulty toaster cord as being the source of the problem, so evidently they understand the principles of electricity and smoke and may be of some help. Insurance adjusters should NOT be consulted howver, as I find they tend to blame the owner of the electrical item in question without even considering the possibility of a smoke leak.
(sorry, I couldn't help myself.) We really need to know more about the tractor..It might be that the starter is not the source of the smoke, but merely the portal from whence it emminates...perhaps a clutch problem is the real culprit.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
