I got it fixed! It was the ignition coil. The old one was bulged on the bottom and cracked at the top. I installed a new coil and hooked it up properly with a resistor so that it gets full voltage only when the starter motor is cranking and a diode so that the current does not back feed from the coil to the starter.
The only problem was when I removed and re-installed the starter cable, the 3/8 inch stud spun in place and twisted off the field winding connection inside the starter.
I tried to repair it by silver brazing an extension to the copper winding and bringing it out through the hole in the starter body.
The starter repair did not work. I am not sure what went wrong, I used some fiberglass sleeving and brush on electrical tape.
I must have pinched something when it went back together. I did not have any more time to fool with it so I ran out and bought a rebuilt starter.
I am still amazed by the fact that the tractor is 75 years old and my dealer (Messick Farm Equipment, Elizabethtown PA) had the starter in stock!
The price was reasonable, I could have bought one on ebay for a little bit less but it was worth it to me to have it right away.
