It sounds like we have a consensus. New Battery Cables. Found some wiring diagrams showing 1 GA. I will give that a try.
I also pulled the starter to see how it acted with 6 volts/15A hooked up to it direct. It started slowly but then spun up in RPM fairly quickly. With 12/2A volts it spun really quick with almost no delay.
I removed the battery cut out that I installed last summer and it helped slightly. At least it will crank now once the crankshaft is in the right spot.
I peeled back the electrical tape on the patched wiring harness and found soldered splices that are just taped. They are splices between the original wire with cloth sheathing and newer type wire with plastic sheathing. I will grab some new wire and connections. It looks like 14 ga & 10 ga is what I need. Checked connections found a bad one on the coil. I put a new end on and re-installed.
Opened the hood on the regulator. One set of points is closed and one is open. No change when cranking the starter is this normal? One set has a wide gap and one is almost closed.
I cleaned the edge of the switch box and the groove in the cover plate for better grounding. I have a little more than 6 volts both sides of the ammeter. does anyone know how to test the switch itself with a voltmeter? Probably need the tractor running for that? There are no lights on the tractor so not much to test there. I was considering running a ground wire because this connection will just rust again.
I am off to the hardware store for new battery cables. I will hook the positive up to the 3/4" starter mount bolt. Thanks for your help. More later.

Today's Featured Article - Fabrication (Who Me? Make it myself?) - by Chris Pratt. First of all, what are the reasons for not fabricatin your own parts? Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market. Since this can be extremely difficult, you may want to fabricate the item or purchase a modern replacement temporarily, but eventually, you s
