I'm going to try a new battery. Despite what the auto store's gauges showed - that the battery is ok, when I hook it up to the tractor it sounds just like it does not have enough power to turn over the engine. That's what my charger shows too. It runs way down after a few attempts. S/G sounds fine - I took off the belt and it seems to be working fine. Retightened the belt - no more screeching noises. My tractor repair person can't think of anything else short of issues inside the S/G. I'll try the battery first.
