Why does my tractor turn over but wont start?

How does a tractor starter solenoid work?
The starter solenoid is a small magnetic device located inside the starter motor. When you turn the ignition key on in the “start” position, the battery sends a small electrical charge to the starter solenoid. The solenoid closes a switch that results in a larger amount of current being sent to the starter motor.
