[AT] Tractor Engine Won't Start

Check your battery cables and connections for corrosion.   Especially the ground cable.  Both ends of both cables.

  Subject: [AT] Tractor Engine Won't Start




          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 ?
