I have a M95 cab tractor, put a new starter on it about 6 weeks ago. Finished up fall hay no problems. Now when I turn the ignition switch on, dash lights come on but as soon as I try to start the tractor, I hear a click in dash area and all dash lights go out and tractor will not turn over. Replaced switch but still have same problem. I am getting 12 volts to the switch. Any ideas where to look next?

How old, corroded are the primary battery cables ?
When were they last removed, cleaned ?

when lights come on then go dark when starting , it's a sure sign that not enough current if flowing.
usually due to old or corroded cables .bad grounds, bad connections, bad battery

Battery and both cable ends were replaced back in June. Multimeter is showing 12.3 volts at battery and starter. When light go out on dash they will not come back on unless I wait about 30 minutes to try again.
