Hi Alan, your tractor would originally be 6 volts which could be bad starters, converting them to 12 volts and still using the 6 volt starter. The coil, control box and dynamo should have been changed to 12 volts. if you look on the website in the club members area, under technical notes there is an article about changing from 6 to 12 volts.
