Start with the basics. First disconnect and clean all battery cable connections including the ground cable. Both ends of all cables. When you say you connected a battery charger, I hope you mean a heavy duty starter / charger. A standard 6 - 10 amp charger will not supply enough current to operate a starter. Verify that the battery is good and fully charged. The starter could also be jammed, not allowing it to turn. The starter switch could be bad as you mentioned. Also try hooking up a known good battery using good jumper cables rather than the tractor's battery cables. Ground the positive post to the tractor frame and connect the negative terminal right on the terminal bolt of the starter switch and see if that works. If it doesn't crank over then, you have ruled out everything but the switch and starter motor.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

Another thing to check. Can you turn it with a crank? starter may be locked against flywheel teeth. Had that happen to mine not to long ago (unloading at Cubarama), and felt like an idiot when I relaized what had happened. I was raised on old Farmalls that had that trouble and should have realized the problem sooner.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
