+ to - to +? Reads to me like you have a 24 volt system? I hate that setup.
Yank the S/P switch. Yank the starter and install a 42 MT in it.
Toss those batteries, and get 4 "31-ECL" Interstate batteries. Hook them up parallel. Make sure the cables and cable ends are clean. Clean the connections at the starter and alternator. 4 new Interstates will crank over pretty much anything.
Unless you're running 6 volt batteries. In that case, yank them too, yank the s/p switch, toss the batteries, and get new 12 volt batteries.

42 MT is series/size of starter which you should already have
Check for tags on alternator and starter they should both be 12V
