Hi Justin.
You said you just rebuilt the engine on your H. Did you also rebuild or replace the generator/alternator? Im guessing its still 6v positive ground with a generator since you said you had a new 6v battery.
The starter wont care if you hooked it up positive or negative ground, but you should make sure you have things grounded properly just in case.
I have had a similar problem when trying to start one of mine, and the starter bendix got stuck in the flywheel. Didnt matter how good the battery was, it just wouldnt turn over. Try to loosen the starter bolts, and wiggle the starter to see if its stuck. If so, you will hear it snap back.
It could also be your starter got cooked trying to crank over a new tight engine, if it was weak to begin with. Couple that with cranking and cranking (and maybe a 12 v battery on a 6v starter) and you could have let the smoke out of it. (This I also know from experience) Pull the starter and see if it spins when you directly connect to a battery with some jumper cables (CAREFULLY). If she spins, you know the starter works.
