Sounds like a loose connection/ blown fuse or broken wire to me.

but once it leaves the converter it's the same wiring.............I think



I take it
that you can't hear the igniter spark while on battery power only, right?

I can't say that I've ever heard sparking on either source over the fan noise

"New batteries" doesn't always mean they have full power. On several occasions I have purchased new batteries only to find they had a bad cell. I would suggest checking the battery output voltages (under load) and even more importantly the individual cells. You can get 12V to read on a meter but that doesn't mean it will crank a cold tractor. (Or satisfy the sensor on a gas furnace.)
