There are times when I go to start it, the ignition won't release, and the starter keeps turning until I disconnect the battery. I had the starter checked, and replaced the solenoid, what else is causing this mal-function?

Here's a picture of that Ford solenoid that Gene recommended. I had to replace the solenoid on my tractor since it wouldn't release. They cost about $5.00 and this one was made by Wells. Hal

That problem happens a good bit of the time on solenoid shift engagement type starters. G.M. starters on the diesel pickup trucks had this when the batteries got weak. The way I solved this problem and saved on expensive starter repairs was to cut the battery cable to the starter and install a Ford type solenoid in the line. Transfer the small power wires from tne main post of the present starter to the hot side of the new solenoid, other side to the regular starter large post. Cut the original solenoid feed wire and reconnect it to the small energizing terminal of the new solenoid. Take the end from the original starter solenoid small post and put a terminal on the end and connect this to the big battery post of the starter so that it gets current the same time the starter does. If the present solenoid has an ignition bypass connection on it, you will need the same type for the new solenoid.If not the Ford type needs only a hot connection from the start post on switch and a good ground for the base of it. This way the solenoid you added takes the load and will not hang engaged like the other type does. Ask me how I know that? Several high priced starter repairs berfore coming to this solution!

I had a hyster once that had a problem like you descibe. But it was equiped with a wet clutch. The drain screen was stopped up on the bottom of the clutch housing. Oil pressure would build up inside the bell housing and keep the solenoid engaged.

If it has a key start switch that you twist to start may be the problem if it's still feeding battery voltage to your solenoid when you release it. Make sure your vehicle is out of gear and the brakes are set and take a screwdriver and short across the small terminals on the solenoid.
The see if it keeps cranking when you remove the screwdriver. If it quits cranking I would replace the switch. Hal
