1949 8N , 6v. Used the tractor yesterday. Ran great. Went to start this morning, cranked too weakly to start. Put battery
charger on, came back in 3 hours, still too weak but turned over a few revolutions. Battery reads 6.3v. Grabbed a 12v to
jump reading 12.77. Nothing, not even noise of spinning. Pulled the starter. Spins when jumped by both these batteries.
Polished starter mating surfaces and reinstalled, jumped using same points of contact when tested on ground, nothing.
Tried grounding to other frame locations, nothing. Even tested continuity of jumper cables which are fairly new and they are
fine. Bedix was extended (withdrawn) when removed and reinstalled. That shouldn't matter should it? Stumped.
