[Farmall] Starter motor: troubleshooting?

[Gordon Williamson]

 If the starter is "jammed" you might get it off the bind by rocking the
tractor in 4th gear. Just enough to move the ring gear teeth an inch or so.

Dean-
  Even money says it is the ground.  Look for cracks/separation in  the
wiring and see if the grounding connection is clean (e.g., paint  build up
or the like).

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?
