[Farmall] Farmall H - Won't Start

[Guy Fay]

Couple of other possibilities for IH:
Make sure your transmission isn't in two gears at once.

Check your Bendix for slop- wear can cause binding when on the tractor, but
operates well on the bench.

Warped ring gear can cause binding- rocking the tractor back and forth in
gear can sometimes unlock this.

Mike,
My 2 cents worth, CABLES.  Make sure you have good HEAVY cables.  I was
surprised when I changed them on a 140 that was very sluggish.  New cables
made the difference.  Like I said, Heavy.

Doug

Not sure if this is how to post a question, but here goes...
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.
