David, I had a simular problem with our 50. When you remove the starter there is the button you depress on the starter its self it has two copper contact points underneath all I did was cleaned and scraped these areas this has seemed to solve my problems.

I think you lay on the ground under the engine section and there is a plate you remove, sorta like tin. The starter is above this plate. The pedel you push on to start the tractor pushes on a switch like the old Chevy cars when the starter was on the floor. Sorta dating myself there.

The starter is mounted in a cavity on the underside of the crankcase. It may be covered by a flat sheet-metal plate. The starter is linked by a steel rod to the operator's pedal. When the pedal is pressed, a lever/yoke assembly moves the starter pinion into mesh with the flywheel. It also mashes a button on the starter which makes electrical contact--preferably at the last moment. Problems occur when (1) the rod length is out of adjustment so that the pinion does not engage properly, (2)the electric pushbutton on the starter makes contact before the pinion is engaged, or (3)the pushbutton does not contact at all.

In spite of it's location, the starter is not hard to pull. First, remove one of the battery cables from the battery. Disconnect the rod linkage behind and at the bottom of the flywheel, free up the battery cable so it can drop through to the ground when the starter comes out, remove the cover plate, if any, remove the two or three cap screws holding the starter mounted to the inside wall. Be careful not to let the starter fall onto your body.

When reinstalling, connect the battery LAST. Don't try to adjust linkage with battery hooked up. That pinion/flywheel will eat your fingers for breakfast.
