[Farmall] Died

[E. John Puckett]

If the crank will turn the engine over, but the starter does nothing, I 
would suspect a bad battery, or a terminal needing cleaned.  The starter 
can cause it, but that is one of the last things to look at.  Use a test 
light or voltmeter to check for voltage at starter.  Then pull starter 
rod and check.  If voltage goes away try on battery cables at starter.
