i am a jd man myself, don't hold it against me, but my mom bought a house that came with a 30 yr old case garden tractor that won't start. the battery is new and chrged, there is fuel,etc. but the starter will not turn. the cables are tight and there is power to the starter, where would i be able to find the starter if bad? i am in grand rapids michigan. it is an emergency as she lives alone and the snow blower attachment for the tractor also needs to work. sorry for the long post, and i will have more questions with this tractor as time passes. thanks in advance

Are you checking 12v from the battery neg. post to the starter cable bolt on the starter? If you are, try to the frame instead of the neg. battery post. The relays could be closing the solenoid, but the neg. cable at the frame may not be tight enough to make a heavy duty path for the starter return.
If all is ok there, remove the starter, put it on the ground with your foot firmly on it, and apply 12v with jumper cables. It should spin fast. If not, maybe the brushes are bad or the commutator needs attention.

I'm not familiar with Case garden tractors but I have a '70 Allis Chalmers garden tractor. There are 3 or 4 safety switches that prevent the thing from being started; for instance, one of them requires the transmission to be in neutral; another one requires you to be sitting in the seat or no juice to the starter.
One shortcut around these switches (if that is the cause of the problem) would be to jump the terminals of the solenoid with a screwdriver or something similar, and get power right to the starter. At least that way, you'll know whether the starter actually works or not. My tractor has been started in that manner over the years more than it has been with the key.

First thing I would do is get out the WD40 and spray the starter, no actually I would drown it. If this doesn't free it up I would take down the enine model and serial and visit the local small engine repair. More than likely you have a Kohler engine on the tractor. More than likely a K series Kohler. If you have a model name for the tractor i.e. 444 or 220 or 222 that would help the responses. Anyways thats what I would do.
