So my neighbor and I played with the starter in the backhoe a little more today. As I posted before we didn't have power to the solenoid and starter. Then after some advice from this forum we got power to the solenoid, but not the starter. However if you jump the two main poles on the solenoid, it energizes the starter. We took the starter out and put it on the bench. It works fine. Bendix gear kicks in and starter is energized through the solenoid. However once it's in the backhoe only the solenoid clicks. There was a little burring on the gear, so I filed off the burrs. I also rotated the flywheel before replacing the starter. Could the bendix gear spring be too weak? Any suggestions. Most of the wires have been replaced in the starter system, and good contacts.
