Diana, My family lives on the other side of MC from you (the old homestead) I live in Minnesota.

I think that the solenoid on the starter (if replaced) is probably good, there may be power going to the starter after the button is pushed and relaesed, this tests the starter only, not Manifold heater or other wiring. However here is my take on a trial run. Disconnect the little wire on the solenoid that goes to the start button. With that OFF of the terminal, the tractor in neutral with the brakes set, and having loosened a battery cable in preparation for pulling it off to stop the starter if the test goes poorly, try this:

Use a screwdriver to short between the small terminal, and the solenoid terminal connected to the battery. (be careful to not short to ground, solenoids may be metal and thus there would be many sparks. This will cause the solenoid to snap in and connect the starter. Remove the screwdriver and it will stop. Tell us what happens. JimN
