well guys here I am again searching for knowledge. Doing some blade work and my MT shut off like it was tired. Still 6volt with cutout and the only fuse I know of is ok. I had nothing so back to barn for tools. I've got 6.5 at battery, 6.47 at points so not the battery. After jiggling the wires I can reach the lights came on but soon as I hit the starter everything went off again. still have power to the points and I don't remember any relays so the only thing I can think of is the cutout switch. Any thoughts?

Loose or dirty electrical connection.
 
Went back next day, got everything to come back on, lights and voltmeter, pulled the starter and once again everything went dead. Unhooked everything, took off starter button, ran 6V straight to starter post, and nothing so now I'm thinking the starter is shorted out. I guess that's more of a question.?? Thanks!
 
What’s the ground like? did you try both one jumper cable to shined up area on body of starter if starter is off or known shiny bolt if it’s still attached to tractor? Then tapping the stud with the other cable that’s hooked up?
 
You didn't say a thing about cleaning all the connections. You aren't going to fix it until you do. Pay particularl attention to the ground cable and attaching point. Also pull the fuse and clean it and be sure the spring inside hasn't lost its tension.
