"IF" your Ingersoll Case (lawn/garden) tractor is an older version and has Points instead of the newer CDI ignition, I suspect your conderser is failing. Replace it & she be ok. It's a common problem in older machines. The fix should be relatively cheap (parts wise) although getting to some things can be time consuming.

Out of pure curiosity, I have two questions??...

1) Did you ever solve the problem ?
2) Does this unit have a conventional or a CDI ignition?

Kthompson makes a Very valid point on the battery being the first place to start. I occasionally get ahead of myself. Come to think about it I had to replace a battery which showed adequate voltage readings but, was very deficient when any substantive load was attached. A bad battery can give you erroneous readings and waste incredible amounts of both time/money.
On the flip side... I have run into safety interlock circuitry which was wired in series ultimately providing a path to ground. This meant there was no voltage readings at the individual components. In this particular situation, (to diagnose the problem), each component had to be unwired and their function had to be confirmed with an ohm meter. It's too late in my life to acquire more sophisticated diagnostic tools.
Precisely where you start can be very baffling especially w/o a wiring diagram. It's much easier (not necessarily faster) IF you have the tractor's wiring diagram accessable.
I'm old now. Kids in grade school know more about the modern electronics than I do. I am on this site primarily to read the discussions. I'm going back to just reading & learning how it should be done.
