I bought a 1944 2N this winter...it runs good if I can get it started. It turned over vvvvery slow...and the connections on the starter switch would glow red. I put a new battery in it...and got it started...it turned off cold and it took some cranking and the starter switch cable posts would still glow red when cranking...I was going to take off the cables and clean the connections and I noticed that the copper bolts were loose in the switch and the insulation was burnt...I replaced it and the starter cranked then just stopped...I took it off and had it rebuilt and it cranked like crazy and started right up...it turned off cold again and it cranked slow and then the starter just stopped cranking as before...I haven't taken the starter off again but It has the same symptoms as before...what would make it burn out starters? It's still a 6 volt system!
Any ideas would be appreciated!

I would try jump starting it directly to the starter and not hooking to the 6 volts at all. Just run the jumper cables from the 12 volt battery to a good ground and then directly to the post on the starter.
Be sure that the tractor is in neutral and that the clutch pedal is tied or blocked down as an added safety so you don't run your self over with the tractor.
This way you will know for sure if it is the starter or something else in the system.
Inspect the battery cables and be sure you don't have the smaller diameter 12 volt cables. They will just not carry the current effeciently enough for the 6 volt system.
If you have the small diameter 12 volt cables chunk them and get some really good 6 volt cables. Preferably with many finer wires. The more the merrier!
