[Farmall] Farmall H - Won't Start

[E. John Puckett]

Fist off, check all the battery cable connections, including where the 
ground cable attaches to the frame.  Even a little corrosion is a 
problem.  2nd thing to check is will the motor turn free or is it 
bound.  Wear on the starter drive or the ring gear will cause the 
starter to bind against the gear and totally lock both.  If you can't 
get a crank on it due to the loader, put in 5th and rock rear wheel, 
while watching fan.  If fan won't move, loosen starter bolts and try 
again.  if drive bound to ring gear is a problem, it will pop and then 
turn.

> I have a 53 H that doesn't want to start.  I have replaced the battery and had the starter rebuilt.  It just doesn't do anything when I hit the starter.  I did move a little before I had the starter rebuilt but would not turn the motor over.  I was able to get it pull started, but thats not real easy with the trip loader on it.  I am having the starter pulled again to see if we can bench test it.  Any other ideas?  I tried jumping the starter button with a screw driver but that doesn't do anything besides a little spark.  Any help greatly appreciated.  I was hoping to get this figured out before the snow, but didn't make it.
