This is how to make it crank. CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS IN PARK!!!!!! DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK because if it is gear then it is going to run over you!!!!!
On the top of the starter the starter solenoid has the large terminal with the battery cable hooked to it. Take a screw driver ( one that you really don't care about) and jump between the battery terminal and the little terminal that has a small wire on it. If the starter is not bad it will crank as long as you keep it jumped across.
You should be able to start it this way. The tractor has a PTO safety switch and a neutral one as well. I wonder if the PTO linkage is unhooked internally. There is a small roll pin in the cross shaft. If that would have failed it would make the lever not work. If it is still shifted engaged then the safety switch would not let it crank.
To get the shifter cover off of the 55 series is a little harder because of the bent gear shifters. If you are going to hire it repaired then I would just jump start it and let someone that is familiar with it do the work. If you want to try it your self post back and we can try to help.
