Those tractor starters, ARE NOT POLARITY SENSITIVE i.e. they still turn the same direction regardless of battery polarity. They are NOT made or rebuilt for Pos or Neg ground, all the same
To insure its the starter and NOT any switch problem, have you tried using a heavy jumper set to jump the starter direct??? Use caution thats a high current jump and Id make the last connection to iron at or near the starter and away from the battery.
The starter dirve gear isnt mechanically stuck/jammed is it??? If so she draws highhhhhhhhh current....If so she can be released by rocking the tractor in high gear or loosening the starter
Id still remove, clean n wire brush, n reattach each n every battery n staretr n switch n ground cable n see what happens.
If you use jumpers and run one cable to the starter post and the other to the starter iron frame, that can give an indication by eliminating starter switch and grounds and other cable connections. TRY THAT
You can always remove n clamp the starter in a vise and use a battery n jumpers n see what happens????????? If the battery is good she should spin fast n smooth n even, try that????
Sure the battery is good?? had it load tested??
If when you depress the starter switch the lights dim way down badly (voltage drops drastically) thats more a starter problem but if teh lights dont dim then it may be a starter switch or cable problem although it can still be the starter
