I've replaced the battery, solinoid and had the starter checked. All are good. But when I turn the key, nothing. What do I check Next?

Thanks, I narrowed it down to the keyed ignition switch this weekend. I think I'll convert it back to just a button switch when I fix it. Where is the best place to get an original or original replacement?

You need to check to see if you have battery voltage at your key switch from the wire going to the solenoid. This should only have voltage when in the cranking position when you twist the key to crank the engine. Hal
PS: You should check at the solenoid too to see if there's voltage when that key switch is in the cranking mode.

Some people replaced the old switch with a key switch. My H had that, but I converted it back to the button starter.

A Farmall B didn't come with a solenoid or a "button" starter. Whatever he has, it is completely aftermarket, so he will have to go through it wire by wire and piece by piece to figure out what was changed and how it was done.

I think Gene B's idea is a good place to start, they are known for having that problem from time to time.

Make sure the key switch is good, you can buy a new one cheap. If that does not do it, you might have bad battery cables or connections.
