The spider on the back of the drum is most likely broken. The part should have a 10 year warranty. Labor should run 250 - 350, unless you call A&E, then it will be a lot more.

Here is a simple test to check field and other wiring. With engine off apply 12v ac 1 amp to 110v outlet plug on generator. This will energize the field windings and should cause the armature to produce dc voltage at the brushes and produce a nice magnet. If there is a short in the field or broken wire or shorted capacitor there will be no dc reading at the brushes. . This test is the opposite of what actually occurs when the engine is running. That is the armature produces a magnet fed thru the windings, regulator and brushes. If dc voltage is present at the burshes, remove 12v ac and start engine to check for output. enjoy

quick way to tell... next time it won't crank and just clicks... hit it gently with a hammer as you have someone attempt to start it... if all of a sudden it cranks.... it's the starter... replace it before it quites completely.

i think maybe you could use a new solinoid and a new starter

SOURCE: Starter on ford 8n tractor will not engage.

Did you check for voltage at the starter connection at the starter connection AFTER the solenoid.......when the solenoid is energized?
Just because it clicks does not mean it is sending power through.
Does the starter have a good clean ground?
Use a battery booster cable and supply your own battery power right to the starter to check it.Try grounding it too with the other battery booster cable.The starter drive is only used when the starter is turning as it is thrown out into the teeth of the flywheel...cranking the engine and back out away from the flywheel when the starter stops turning.
