How old is your battery? The first click is the solenoid energizing the starter, you said yourself that the second click is the starter engaging the flywheel. Having 12 volts is not enough if you don't have enough amps to turn the motor over. The easiest way to check this theory is to use jumper cables from your car to try jump start the tractor. If that works, replace the tractor battery, if not then I don't know for sure what it might be, exept to start checking all the wiring from the battery to be sure of good ground (metal touching metal- no paint) and that all connections are tight.
