I'm writing back as I have found the problem. It was of course the starter. It was a bit of trouble to fix the broken holes, but after fixing it with some helicoils and mounting the starter, it has yet to not start. I've also been able take it for a drive, and it seems to run quite good. Thank...

I have already replaced the solenoid with a brand new one. But when I took the starter out yesterday I saw the bolts were metric, so when i tried mounting it again the bolts didnt fasten properly. I believe the ones I bought the tractor from used the wrong bolts as its probably the old british...

If anyone has any other ideas, please reply. I have been stuck with this problem for months now. I received a new starter motor yesterday and will mount it today to see if it was the problem. If it isn't, then I have no idea. Like I've said earlier, it turns smoothly around when sparkplugs are...

I'll have a look online if any shops near me have a "starter tester". As for the fergies eletrics, as far as I understand it it has a key for the ignition and on mine specifically also a battery cutoff connected to the battery's positive and the tractor body. Both have to be in "on" position...

Ok, so I've tried shorting it, and not much happened. There was lots of sparks (more than there was before I switched it out with the current, new, one). As far as I saw and heard, the starter didn't turn. I hoped the starter wouldn't be the problem as it is very expensive, but maybe it is?

Thanks for the replies! Today I took out the spark plugs and tried turning it with the starter motor. It turn over like it was nothing. When I took the plugs in again and tried, it was completely stuck. As for how long it has been sitting, the seller told me they bought it back around 2018, and...

See, the cables/wires from the battery to the starter and solenoid switch has been replaced, and was something I did almost immediately when I got it. I've also tried to run jumper-cables directly onto the starter with no luck. According to my father he says it feels very heavy to turn by hand...

So I've recently bought a Ferguson TEA-20 that seemed to be in allright order. However, the seller never showed it actually starting because it didn't have a starter motor on it when I was there looking at it. They also said that it'd need a new battery to start, and that they'd put a new...
