Weak solenoid, dirty or loose connections, broken wire between relay and solenoid, stuck solenoid piston would be my guess I had my F act up like that and it was due to leaking oil dripping on the starter. Have you had the starter off for testing?

The motor has sat for 40 years in a sealed, dry garage. I have flushed everything, soaked and primed everything. I am able to smoothly turn it over by hand from the front of the engine. But when I try to start it with the starter it spins the starter but wont engage the flywheel??? It is a 1958 300d.... Any ideas or solutions? Thank you for any help!!!
