Just want to reiterate what others have said. Starters- 12 Volts will not ruin a 6-volt starter, but long cranking time (regardless of voltage) will. I’ve been staring my M on 12-volts with a 6-volt starter for over 20 years, 15 of them in the winter (including days at -20) on a daily basis. I never burned out a starter, but did have to replace starter drives. Second, check spark from the coil. Bright blue at least ½ inch from the high tension lead to a ground. If good there, pull a plug wire and make sure spark is good there. I would also recommend a complete set of new spark plugs as they may be fuel soaked and not sparking properly. Third, make sure it’s getting fuel and has compression. Try to start the tractor without choking. If it has fuel, and spark, it should start. As others have said, use starting fluid sparingly, if fuel is dripping from the bottom of the carburetor, it is probably flooded. Open the throttle half way or better and leave the choke off. You should get a pop or something. Post back and let us know how you are getting along.
