Solenoid just clicks when I try to crank. Didn't see one in the parts catalogue. Is there a model that is interchangeble?

A new solenoid costs about $10.00. Ford/NH sells them as do the parts suppliers on this site.
Before you buy a new one, make sure you need it. You can test your solenoid by touching a jumper cable from the lug on the right (or the Negative battery terminal) to the lug on the left. MAKE SURE THE TRACTOR IS OUT OF GEAR WHEN YOU TRY THIS. If the motor turns over, replace the solenoid.

Ruben -

Have a care, and make sure you buy a solenoid specifically for the 8N application. This one is kind of unique because of the grounding-type starter switch. A generic automotive-style starter solenoid will not work, since the internal connection to the solenoid coil is to ground. The 8N system requires that the internal coil connection be to the hot side of the circuit, so it is internally connected to the high-current supply terminal.

Been there, done that.
Before replacing the solenoid, I'd clean and tighten all battery cable connections.
(that's BOTH ends) That might be all you need to do.
Also check the condition of the battery.

I've seen them at Tractor Supply. I can't rember how much but I'm pretty sure they're cheap. Look on the parts page on this web site too.
