If you have a volt meter,hook one end to the starter battery post,the other end to ground,and check to see if you have battery voltage when you pull the starter rod.
 If you do,run a jumper cable from the battery ground to the starter and see if it turns over.If it does,you have a ground problem,if not,then pull the starter.
 Low cranking voltage could cause the starter to lock in the ring gear,also.

too cold and windy in iowa sunday where the weather changes second to second to work on my tractor. decided to not start 50' from the house so working down the driveway. nice today so will get out and try some of these suggestions after work today. battery cables will determine if ground ok. if not will be checking the starter closer. thanks for all the suggestions, your help is invaluable.

You were right Ted and others. Wish I'd been smart enough to check the ground first, but no. Took starter off today and tested. Works great! So put everything back together and cleaned up ground and started right off. Live and learn I guess though is fun to work on. So simple but so well engineered. Too bad they don't make em like that anymore. Thanks guys for all the help. This site and you forum members are invaluable to me for all your knowledge and help.
