Tractor won't start

[AlbertC]

I have a ford 3930. Used it about six weeks ago and went out to crank it yesterday and got nothing. Had a little corrosion on positive cable. Checked battery with my harbor freight voltmeter and got 12.61 volts. Cleaned terminals and tried to start- again nothing.

I hooked my battery starter to the battery and tried to crank. This time I heard a clicking noise when I turned the key but the engine will still not turn over. Temps here today were in the 70's. I live in georgia, and it has not really been very cold for the last few weeks. Any ideas about what I can try next.

Thanks

I had a 3930. I got rid of it because the high/low shifter was so hard to shift. The shifter had to be in neutral to start it so every time you started it you had to shift it. Check to make sure this shifter is in neutral. Otherwise the clicking most times indicates a low battery or poor connection. Check your ground connection.

Agree on all of the above
