It is a shame that the tractor set out side. I bet the paint was still pretty good until then. Do not let that tractor get away form you. You will treasure it as you get older. Having that picture of you being small on that tractor is priceless.
As for the tractor starting. I would not give up on the starter just yet. Like the other poster said, I would start by cleaning all the battery cable connections. Truthfully all the connections you can easily get to should be cleaned. Then get a good battery. Install it with clean connections. See if it will crank over that way. If it just clicks MAKE sure the tractor is in neutral first!!!!, then jump the starter solenoid and see if it cranks that way. You could easily have wiring issues down stream that are keeping it from cranking. This tractor does not have an electric shut off. So if you get it started you can at least drive it to the barn/garage. The trouble shoot any issues it has under cover.
If you want to talk shoot me an email and I will gladly give you my cell number to call. Be glad to talk you through getting it running.
