Okay I picked myself up in 8N tractor that's the only problem supposedly was it needed a head gasket I replace the head gasket and I cannot get the tractor to turn over I took the starter out and had it tested it's fine. I had a friend come with a multimeter and check, what I thought was the problem was the thumb button or starter button by the shifter. but I have power going past my thumb button, I have power from the ignition switch and I am getting power to the starter, but it will not engage. I'm completely dumbfounded.. The tractor has been switched over to a 12-volt system all electrical seems to be in good condition. It was a full running tractor 4 years ago and was after the head gasket went out. I've cleaned off terminals positive and grounds installed a new battery. Mechanically she's sound, the motor turns over freely by hand. I have an updated hydraulics on my bucket with downward pressure so it's tapped into the old crank on the front I was able to hook a ranch partially on it and get a half a spin and almost managed to get the tractor to fire on that. But I have something wrong along the lines of the ignition system any help would be much appreciated.
