I was trying to start my 8N in cold weather, and after a few crank attempts, I couldn't get anything from my starter at all. I checked the battery, and it was bad, and the ground strap was also corroded, so I replaced them. All I get though with a new battery and strap is a click. Does this mean my Solenoid is bad? It seems like this happened a few years ago and it turned out to be the starter was stuck against the flywheel, and I fixed it by opening the hole in the case near the starter and somehow got it to return. (just lucky) but I can't tell if it is stuck thi time. Any advice? Thanks.

Try putting it in 4th gear and grab hold of a rear tire and rock it back and forth as hard as you can and see if that won't pop it loose. Another way is to put a screw driver thru the little round timing access hole on the right side of the flywheel housing and engage a tooth on the flywheel. Try to turn the flywheel either way and see if that doesn't pop it loose.
Also be sure to clean the inside of the battery cable clamps so you make a good electrical connection to that new battery. HTH

Thanks. I'll try this as soon as it thaws a little here.
