My dad is taking some convincing that he needs to simply take the complete starter off the tractor, get it on the bench and look it over...

You can get old school battery testers that have a massive dummy load they drain the battery with to check performance under load, but I just swap the battery out for another one to diagnose here. I have in the past connected a external battery right onto the main starter studs with jump leads just to diagnose that the starter itself was ok also.
