The starter bendix is bad.
Could be a number of reasons:
Weak battery
Bad connections
Worn brushes
Solenoid contacts burnt, oxidized or just plain wore out.
Bad starter motor bushings allowing the armature to drag on the pole shoes.
Bendix problems
If I remember correctly the starter drive needs the rpm of the pony motor start to kick out the drive gear so your hand cranking is not fast enough to kick it out.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
