I had an old Ford truck that did the same thing. In fact I have had a chevy truck do the same. I used to carry a hammer in the cab and when it would just "click" I would crawl under and smack the starter with the hammer 2-3 times and it would fire right up. [Reply]

Could be a corroded ground to chassis cable not making good ground. [Reply]

We used to do that with our old work Suburbans. Eventually, the starter would seize up for good but would save you back in the boonies. [Reply]

or a wrench. or a hard handled screwdriver. Dad used all of them.
Started an Oliver 1950-T with a screwdriver on the starter. [Reply]

Got home wait about 45 mins clicking noise again. Played with the wheel a bit and it started up.wait another 30-45 mins and it started right up.
Automatic? I think those things had a park switch to not let it go in gear. Something could be worn out there.
RE: click. Is it a single click or a rapid click?
If it’s a single click the solenoid isn’t engaging. Your starter is fucked. Unless it has an external solenoid.
If it is rapid clicking you aren’t getting enough power to the solenoid. Probably a battery cable if it will periodically hit. Could also be a wire on the starter.

Dude, I don’t even know what you are trying to say in 2/3 of your posts.
I know ford did a lot of external solenoids. I have no idea whether Billays ranger has an external solenoid or not. I’m not going to look it up because I’m not invested enough to do it. He can do that and change it if he’s so inclined.
All that being said, I have no buttfucking clue what you’re trying to puke out on my screen. [Reply]
