Those are great, small tractors. Bullet proof. Generally, you should tell us if it's a gas or diesel though in this case as the others have said it's probably your ground cable. Not uncommon to see one corrode inside where the cable connects to the battery clamp. Ground normally hooks to one of the bolts that hold the starter in. If you have a diesel I would spend the extra dough for a Good cable - 0 or 00 wire size and not the cheesy, cheap jobs that you get at your local auto parts store. Also, insure that your battery cables do not get pinched behind the swing out battery tray. There have been more Fords of that era burn up from pinched battery cables than any other cause. See photo. Lastly, there is a Very Good Ford forum here at Yesterday's Tractors. Best to ask your Ford questions there.
