Its probably not the fuseable link; more likely is that the starter motor needs to be shimmed. The starter motor has a small gear ( the pinion gear) which sticks out on a shaft to engage the flywheel. if the pinion gear doesn’t stick out far enough, it will spin but not turn the flywheel. The starter will test fine on the bench. Sometimes the pinion ...

Either may be sufficient to "free" the mechanism.
If not, then you have to check other ...

the high pressure oil feed - that banjo bolt is usually sealed with copper washers and may ...
