I think it is a stuck starter. The starter jambed into the ring gear, common on the fords if ring gear starts to go bad. Loosen the 2 bolts that hold the starter on but only 1/4", DO NOT take them out then take a screw driver and drive inbetween the starter and the housing and get the starter to wiggle. Tap the starter button and it should run but do not hold it running like that and if it runs then tighten the starter back and it should start. If when lose it does not run then you have other problems. But do not let that starter come apart, if you have to take it off keep the back bolt in and take the front bolt out just enough to take a 5/16" nut being held with a pair of needle nose pliars in between the starter and the housing and while holding that nut in place thread the starter bolt into it and then you will be safe to pull the starter out and will take a lot of wiggleing to get it out. Reverce to install keeping that nut on the outer bolt untill the inner bolt is secure. Some say you can release a stuck starter by putin in high gear and rocking the tractor but have not found that to work. A lot of information back in the archives here on stuck starters.
