In the last month I've noticed that when I turn the key to start my tractor all it does is click. In order to start tractor I press clutch down and have to shake high low shifter from side to side on tractor and move around till it finially gets in the right spot and tractor will finnally start. Question Is it my starter going out, my ignition switch going bad or or some internal problen with clutch? Yes I installed a new battery yesterday so I know that is not the problem.

It probably has a transmission interlock switch that keeps it from starting when the tractor is in gear (it saves people from getting run over when they start off the ground instead of in the seat.). Could be the switch is getting worn or needs an adjsutment. What ever you do don't bypass it! You'll lose the safety that it affords. They are usually not expensive and are relatively easy to replace. To find it look for a coupe of wires going into the transmission cover or some where near the shift lever. i'm not familiar with your specific tractor so that's all the help I can offer.
