| Sounds like a dead battery. Sounds like new battery was never fully charged or there is something running the battery down when sitting. Disconnect the ground cable and charge battery on low charge for 24 hrs where it is warm--60 degrees F or more. |

What's a circulating heater? Do you mean an external block heater? Sounds like you have a bad battery or something is on and killing it. A possible drain. Is it a 6 or 12 volt system? Charge the battery up and DISCONNECT it from the tractor. Go back a week later and connect the cable you disconnected and try to start it. Does it turn over really nice or just go grrrr. If it's the grrrrr your battery is NO good. 6 volt batteries can sit on the shelf for so long that they are no good by the time someone gets around to buying it.

| Check your cables. I had a ground cable go bad. Put a new cable on and started right up. |

Or battery cable(s), or connector at one end or the other is bad. After you've tried cranking it, feel the connections from battery post all the way to solenoid, and positive post all the way to ground connection. If any are warm, you have too much resistance there. (oops...

| A bad battery cable connection or a bad ground where the starter bolts to the block. Either would cause this. |

Do a voltage drop test. Start from the battery post and not the clamp. Pos probe on the post, neg probe at the clamp, read meter while trying to crank. Do the same thing all the way to the starter post. If you find more than .5 volt reading while cranking, you have unwanted resistance. If you never find much voltage drop on each cable in the circuit, and the battery is good and fully charged, time for starter rebuild. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

| Got another vehicle and person so as to pull start it? If it runs with a pull, that eliminates a lot of things. |
