Fingers crossed I can get my tractor started today

My tractor was having issues starting every once in a while starting over a year ago and had been getting worse and worse. I've tried a bunch of things to troubleshoot the problem with mixed results. Often I would do something and the tractor would start regularly again but only for a while. I finally decided to bring the starter to a rebuild shop to see if it was the problem. They say it's all good! One variable eliminated, now I will test the alternator and batteries.

The sheep have hay to eat for now but I need to get a round bale for the horses and get the other bales positioned and tarped so we waste as little as possible to moisture damage. After that I need to get more wood stacked up by the house. Going to be a busy day, especially if the tractor won't start!
