I'm with Steve on a lot of this, using jumper cables to direct jump a starter isn't the easiest thing to do since you may draw very high current and those loose jumped clamps may not make good enough contact. It can be done, you need a good clean shiny starter post/stud and a good tight jumper clamp and Id attach that first with other jumper cable end good and tight to a clean bright shiny battery post, then with the other jumper good n tight on the other battery post, I make the final frame ground connection down by the starter (NOT near battery) to a frame place that's clean n bright and push her down tight and expect sparks.
First thing Id do is remove, clean n wire brush, then re attach each and every battery and starter and switch and ground connection.
Those high current direct push start switches (if that's what you have???) go bad cuz the copper contacts get burned and pitted and carboned. Just because you get a voltage reading on the starter stud when starter is depressed don't prove the switch is absolutely good or bad as it can still be high resistance due to carbon or pitting etc. Once all the cables and connections and grounds are known to be good, turn on a light or place a voltmeter on the battery and push the starter, if the voltage don't hardly drop or lights don't dim and all else is good (cables and connections and grounds and starter itself) then the switch may be shot. However if the voltage drops drastically and lights dim way down the switch is working so the starter may be bad or its drive mechanically stuck/jammed into the flywheel
Make sure the battery is good and full charged, a bad connection or ground is always my first suspect

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Profile: Case VA Series - by Staff. V, VC, VI and VO). Althouh the Case VA looked much like the V, it shared no major components with its predecessor. Except for military units, the production of the Case VA was interrupted in July of 1942 due to World War II. It resumed again in 1944 and continued until 1953. It started up briefly later on in 1953 and continued on a very limited basis until 1956. The VA Series included the following models: VA: Fixed front wheel tread VAC:
