Couple of things. Having gone through half a dozen rent-a-wrecks for mhy 4 kids and being a GM guy for a lot of years I had occasion where the mounting of the starter to the bell housing/adapter can bind the starter. It took me several times of trial and error. I would loosen the bolts and then wobble the starter looking for the center of the slop and lock it there. Other times pulling the starter as far away from the fly wheel as the bolts would let you and locking it down Solved it.
On a day off, get a buddy and a voltmeter. Put one lead on the solenoid stud where the battery high current wire connects.....not the wire, the solenoid stud.
Put the other lead on the case of the starter, not an end cap, the actual case.
Have your buddy hit the starter....first thing and measure the voltage. If not at least 10v, clean up your wiring or get your battery amperage checked or a new one.
You only have about a volt to spare and at 200 amps starting current everything has to be clean and tight.
The clicking means that you have either a binding starter as mentioned or you have resistance in the power path as mentioned.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
