Hi Paul, is the B414 gas or Diesel. I assume it is gas because the Diesel model had a manual starter switch. I looked in the B414 Operator's Manual wiring diagram for petrol model and it only shows a 3 terminal starter solenoid. The 2 big terminals for battery and starter, the other smaller terminal has 2 wires, 1 Brown wire(red sleeve) to terminal 3 of ignition switch, the other wire Brown going to Ammeter. Since you replaced battery and cleaned cable connectors at both battery and solenoid then you could have a grounding problem at the battery. Quick simple test is turn on the head lights and attempt to start tractor. If lights go out or really dim then there is a grounding problem from battery to frame. The other problem that would happen on the early Diesel model starter was that the only ground for the starter was thru the end bearings of the starter. There was a ground post on the front of the starter that was never connected to ground. Later models had a ground strap connected from that post to one of the starter mounting bolts. The other problem could be your ignition/starter switch being bad. Try this at YOUR OWN RISK. To test for this problem make sure tractor is in NEUTRAL and PARK BRAKE is ON, take a screw driver and short the small ignition switch terminal on the solenoid to the big battery terminal and starter should engage and spin the engine. One other thought, did someone retrofit a clutch safety swicth on this B414? Good luck JimB
