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

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
