Scott,

I doubt you have a load tester. Install a known good battery and try to start. If the starter still drags or will not engage, tap it with a hammer. Do not beat the **** out of it. If it tries to start, you need a new starter. Still not making any sounds, need to verify all cable connections starting with the battery. Make sure you remove the negative cable from the frame mount and clean. Have seen a lot of mistakes made due to bad connections on the ground side. Good Luck.

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.
