Steve, your solution has been identified by various responses already. I recently went through the same thing on my 1952 H which just wouldn't turn over with enough zip to start the tractor. It has the M&W doomed pistons so there is somewhat of a compression increase. I went through the entire starting system and it is like a new tractor now. I replaced all the cables with size 00 and soldered terminals. I put on a new starter buttom (don't know if that was needed or not). I grounded the battery to one of the mounting bolts for the starter. I used external tooth washers between all the connections with the cables and what they attached too. One of the problems I believe I was dealing with was the fact is was disassembled completely during it's restoration and parts were painted individually and then painted again following assembly. The paint was most likely inhibiting current flow through all the various parts. You just need proper size cables, clean and tight connections and a good ground on the starter. Good luck and there will be light at the end of this, Hal.
