        The other day I tried to start my IH-140 but it barely turned over,  
suspecting
    the battery being low, after sitting all winter,  I hooked the jumper 
cables to it,
    connected to my van.  When I tried to start it....absolutely nothing.   
The battery
    wouldn't even begin to engage the starter.  Nothing got shorted out 
during hookup.

    Why wouldn't the starter kick it over ?  If it turned the engine over 
before,  why
    wouldn't it real turn over when jumped ??  Could the starter go out that 
quickly ??

    What do you suspose happened ?
