purchased another 574 at a sale and can't seem to get it started.
installed new key switch, battery, starter
Checked connections and wiring, points, plugs
starter will spin when out of the tractor but will not spin the gear.
The gear will move by prying with a screw driver and I can turn the crank by pulling on the belts. I have the plugs out so there is no compression.
I took the starter off my other 574 which I know is working and it does the same thing. Starter turns but the engine is not turning or it is not engaging on the gear.
