[AT] Tractor Engine Won't Start

[Gene Dotson]

    I would first check all the connections by taking them all apart and giving them a good cleaning. Sounds like you have a bad
connection and when you jumped it, it it arced the bad connection so any contact you had was lost.
    As Farmer says; "CYG, CYG, CYG"  (check your grounds)

:         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 ?
