B2920 starter will not turn over

[McREBEL]

The tractor hasn't been cranked in 2 months. Lack of dry weather and opportunity just had not allowed me to get on it. I loaded the tires then was going to crank it up to let it warm up a little before changing the oil. The dash lights come on but nothing happens. I have jiggled every lever and every pedal. The seat switch clicks when I get on and off seat. I didn't think the battery was the problem because the head lights burn bright. I tried jumping it anyway. Still nothing. It did seem to pull down on the car I was trying to jump it with when I hit the key. Any ideas appreciated.

When I loaded the rear tires I did turn the wheels to get the valve stem at 12 o'clock for each tire but can't imagine that did anything.

if you have a test light check at the switch side of starter solenoid to see if you have power there when turning ignition switch to start position

Thanks for the suggestion tommygun. Had 11.7 volts at starter with key in ignition position. Decided to get underneath to check things out at the treadle. The treadle safety switch was stuck. It's an '08, so might be a good idea for me to go ahead and put a new treadle safety switch on. On to changing the oil now.
