Tractor (1984 long 360) is not starting.
The tractor won't start. Starter selonoid clicks, the engine turns over once or twice and then the selonoid just keeps clicking and the engine does not turn over.
New starter installed.
Checked power (13.4 volts coming to the starter)
Tried hot wiring the starter (give the S-terminal 12v. Same exact behavior.
Please suggest what to check next.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

cayte03 remove your starter but keep it connected. Just remove the battery cable. Once removed replace the battery cables and see if your starter behaves normal. The bendix should engage and the starter should turn over. Let us know what you find. It is a power situation and your starter may just draw to much from the battery. Also, when you boosted your tractor, did you use the "new" battery directly on the starting circuit or did you connect it to the "old" battery?

Oddly enough most people think a 12 v battery should read 12 v but this is not the case. Led batteries are nominal 13.8 v and if even a small charge higher to 14 volts. At 13.4 I would say you have a dead cell and reading your text sort of proves it. A battery shop have a tester that puts a load on a battery to see how the voltage stays or drops under load. They will tell you.
Good luck
