Engine won"t turn over new battery, lights work key shows
glow plugs working it"s like maybe a sensor or something?
Does anyone have a suggestion or have had similar
experience? Any suggestion I thought it was selnoid but don"t
think so?

7108 was the loader model number....
It would somewhat helpfull to know what tractor model number is on the hood... just for reference purposes.
Beyond that I'd suggest you clean all of the battery and starter connections and wire brush them until they're bright and clean. Apply a bit of grease and reinstall. Make sure the battery cable clamps are tight...
Then check and make sure that you've got ~12 V at the positive post on the starter and also see if you're getting 12V on the starter control wire from the key. If you aren't... check backwards to the ignition switch and through the safety start switch and find the open.
If you are getting 12V on the control wire at the starter... take a good sized club and tap the starter motor and try again... Possible that the brushes are getting bad or stuck. Nippo's are not so cheap to replace... might want to take it to a starter shop and see about rebuilding.

You are telling us that your engine won't even turn over, and that your lights work just as usual, am I right? What is the charge on your battery? If it is around 14v, remove the starter and take a set of jumper cables. Clamp one end of the black cable to the neg on the battery and clamp the other end to the flange of the starter. Clamp one end of the red(or which ever color the other cable is) to the pos on the battery. Take the remaining clamp, which will be the other end of the one clamped to the pos on the battery and quickly touch it to the pos terminal of the starter. The starter should quickly turn and the bendix should extend. Ensure that your battery is fully charged. If when you do this with a fully charged battery and the starter does not turn, the starter is the problem. If the start does turn freely, but does not when installed, your engine is offering to much resistance, but more likely the starter will not turn freely.

you possible have a safety switch stopping it from cranking. the high low lever must be in the middle position.

on newer tractors, the pto must be off and the brakes must be on, drive must be disengaged, some even have a seat sensor so that your butt must be in the seat. so there are a lot of things that have to be right before it will crank.
