toro8-32 model 56138, rebulited starter new gear and brushes, installed it along with new battery turn key and it justs clicks.

Answer
 Hello Ted:

 Take a Jumper Cable Set and Using One Lead, Jumper the Soleniod. Place 1 lead on the Large Post on 1 side of the Soleniod and FIRMLY Touch the Other large Post of the Soleniod with the Other End. If the Starter Turns, then the Soleniod is Bad. If it Doesnt, then the Starter or Battery is Still the Problem. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
