[C38] Starter solenoid? Universal diesel 24 hp

[Max Soto]

When I bought Estancia, I took out the starter for some maintenance. The solenoid was working, but was heavily corroded. I went to the auto shop, and got a new one. It was used on many Toyotas. Before installing it, I drilled a hole in the flange, so I can insert a screwdriver and push the lever for an emergency start.. 
I haven't started it this way, but I know it works..

However, the starter did not engage to the engine after 3 tries. (The engine did not turn over at all.) Starter solenoid trouble is my guess, and thanks to Tom Troncalli, we know we can buy one at Advance Auto Parts (#28-5009/GP Sorenson brand). But first, I’d like to hear your diagnostic experiences.
