That heat is the evedence needed to tell the story. The cable may be too small, or corroded at the terminal. Cables on that tractor should be made from thick wire (many get replaced with auto grade cables) the designation is "O" gauge wire Or if it is a bigger tractor than youre #OO gauge is used. The heat should not be there. The battery may be OK, I would not suspect it until you replace the cable and it still has issues. Another way to assist the cable you have as a test, is to use good 4 gauge jumper cables to add conductivity to that heating cable. Just connect to both ends of that cable with one of the jumper leads to increase its conduction. If it does better, it points out the problem is as indicated. If a new cable does not make it start better(but prevents the heating at the wire), the starter motor may be dragging. This is caused by worn bushings in the end frame on one or bothe ends, allowing the armature to physically drag against the field poles. If this is tha case it will still turn slow, and needs to be rebushed and a new set of brushes installed. Good luck, JimN
