Dean,
    The old H's and M's were notorious for the starter locking up against 
the flywheel ring gear.  Try putting it in 5th gear and rocking it back and 
forth to see if it will break free.  You can also loosen the starter motor 
bolts and wiggle the starter to break it free.

Spent a nice day yesterday cleaning up the M and tinkering with the fuel
sediment bowl, and just now went to put the tractor back inside.   No
response from the starter.  I confirmed it's getting electricity when I
press the starter button, but no movement, no sound, nothing.  I haven't had
the tractor long but have never previously had trouble with the starter.

My plan is to take it off, look at it, try to rotate it by hand, and see if
anything occurs to me.  Any suggestions on where to look?
