Farmall H Battery

[Baulkman]

The tractor was just replaced with a rebuilt carburator. When starting it, it cranked a few times and then just stopped. When I say stopped, it acts as if there is no battery attached to it as it makes no noise or click. The connection is good. The battery is charged. When the starter is pushed there is nothing.

Did your starter lock up? Try turning the engine with a crank or just turning the fan. If the starter is locked up you won't be able to move it. If it is locked up, just remove it from the tractor and put it back - it will release the starter drive.

Fan moves just fine.

make sure the ground connection on the frame is clean and solid. next take a jumper wire and jump the two posts of the starter button, switch could of went bad, starter will react with the jumper. next loosen the starter bolts enough to wiggle waggle the starter motor then tighten all back up, locked up starter drive. try all mentioned and report back......gobble

I'd start with jumpers directly from battery to starter.
