Most 6Volt starters only have two fields. At best, they would barely turn over fast enough to start the engine. Is your tractor 6V or 12V. If it is still 6v, check the size of your cables, they should be at least as big around as your finger. Generally #2 or larger. 2-0 welding cable works well. Any dirt, corrosion, burned wires will build up resistance in the starter circuit. It doesn't take much. Most tractors had the ground cable from the battery connected directly to one of the mounting bolts of the starter or nearby. Also check the field windings where they come together at the post. My grandfather used to crank on the nut to tighten the connection and would twist the post and break it loose from one or both windings. One field winding and it would turn too slow to start on 6v. Both broken loose and nothing turned. One way to check would to jumper 12V to the post. If the starter turns fast enough to start the tractor then one field winding is loose. Also check the brushes and commutator for dirt. Good luck with this. Billy
