To jump the solinoid turn the key on then connect the big nuts on either side. Use something heavy duty, pliers handles work well. It will burn them a bit if not your battery is to low,

Edit make damn sure it is in neutral.
The older farmer Howard lost his life a few years ago when he reached up to start the tractor. It was in gear and ran him over

I miss my friend Howard

Edit just watched the video. Looks like a easy fix either way.

It's quite obvious when you can reach the starter key standing next to a tire that's as tall your as your shoulders, so I/we have never attempted messed starting it form the ground, I or my wife are on the tractor before it's even attempted to start...

Thank you for pointing this out! Sorry for the losses
