John, you have several very good responses and I think if you do as suggested your tractor will start. Just another point, you mentioned you painted the tractor - not knowing in what manner you painted it I will share yet something else. I purchased an exceptionally nicely restored Farmall H which had been disassembled and was painted in pieces and then reassembled. The coating of paint on mating surfaces of numerous items between the starter and where the ground cable was attached made it next to a non-starting tractor. It was a 6 volt system as well. I ran a new 00 size cable (short as possible w/soldered terminals) between the ground post on the battery and one of the starter to frame bolts using external tooth washers to get a "good bite" into the starter and it starts like it is hooked up to a 12 volt battery. I also would replace the cable to the switch on top of the starter with a 00 soldered terminal cable also. Running new size 00 cables as I noted to the starter which was previously suggested will probably solve your problem, Hal.
