I suspect if the battery was internally shorted, it would be dead or just explode nicely. Your problem is an internally shorted starter.
Tie the tractor to the back of the mini van and have the wife drag you around a short distance. It should start with no problem. Turn on the key to run position, and in 3rd gear. Turn the key to start and the cable warms up due to dead starter.
Capeech?
