Not a fix to your problem - but just want to point out that voltage is no indicator of current carrying capability.
The fact that you see 6 VOLTS at the solenoid only means you have a connection to the battery - it does NOT mean that connection can support all the current that's required to turn the starter.
Voltage means very little (You could stack 4 brand new AA batteries in series and get six volts, but they'd never provide enough current to turn the starter)
Somewhere in your circuit, there's resistance that's keeping the full amount of current (power) from reaching your starter.
If you've cleaned all the connections WELL - including ground connections - I'd try a jumper cable directly from the battery in the tractor to the starter to see if that works.
If not - it means your battery is the problem.
If it does - work back from there using the jumper cables where you can to do a direct link to the next connection in the circuit.
