[AT] Farmall starter switch

Rocking the rear wheels while in high gear is a good idea.

Sounds like the starter is stuck.  Don't know what kind of starter drive is 
used.  I would try and make sure the engine is free and or put tractor in a 
high gear and rock rear wheel with the ignition switch off.  Also put a 
voltmeter on the battery and see what the voltage does when you apply start 
current to the battery either with the switch or putting the battery cable 
on the starter.  It should drop a couple of volts if the starter and grounds 
are OK.
