Gordon, wow! thanks for this diagram and explanation. I only see one cylindrical object so maybe this is the solenoid though mine is the size of the larger one in ur photo. I need to find the spade connection (and wire from ignition to starter). That might be my answer. Thank you again!!

I very much appreciate all the guidance here. Still a bit confused. For clarification... the positive cable and the red wire are both connected to the bolt on what I thought was my starter, but sounds like some of you think it's the solenoid. The photo above shows on the right the large...

Won't the positive cable accomplish the same thing? I guess I'm a bit confused. I already have the positive cable attached at the battery and then to the bolt on the starter [along with red wire that's spliced on the cable connected to the alternator.]

The circled area already has some wire connected there.

I bought this property three years ago, it came with the tractor, I’m imagining the tractors, 20 years old. I get it serviced every winter and have the fluids changed, dad, hydraulic lines, checked for leaks, and the engine fine-tuning if I’ve been having problems during the growing season.

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve heard the term solenoid, but I don’t know what one looks like. What would I be looking for, and if I can identify it, then I can definitely follow ur suggestion. Thank u.

See photo. Fuse is good. Does the black wire with the small plug need to be connected to anything?

I very much appreciate all these suggestions. Neg cable is on correctly and grounded. Tractor is in neutral and PTO is disengaged. The red "xtra" wire that included on the alternator cable is attached to the starter bolt along with the positive cable. NOTE: there is a second "xtra" wire with a...

Lights come one but it doesn't turn over. Battery is fully charged. New positive cable installed on battery and starter with the extra wire on the end that slides over the starter bolt. There's another thin wire that has a plastic type plug but not sure if that just dangles or should be...
