Finnaly getting around to fire the Fergie back up after painting. Tried to start and starter spun but motor did not. Removed starter and jumped it with cables and it spins but gear only goes half way to end. Brand new 6v battery and yes it's a 6v starter. Had it rebuilt and it started the tractor before I tore it down to paint. Took it back to shop and it bench tested fine. What the keck am I overlooking?
 
Probably a weak connection, bad ground, poor connection somewhere. The starter needs to get a good spin to spiral the drive into the flywheel.

Look for paint under the ground strap, paint between the starter housing and the bell housing.

Are the starter switch contacts making solid connection, clean?

Any connection that gets warm or smokes is the place to look.
