Possible starter?

I have a 1992 lincoln continental 3.8 v6. it has 253,000 plus miles. my problem is this. about a week ago when i went to start it the starter dragged and dragged and then it was dead with a slight click when i would try to start it again. about 5 minutes later i attempted to start it again and it started, but with major hesitation and dragging from the starter. each day the dragging got worse soo i assumed it was the battery. today i tried to start it and it just dragged until the the starter clicked. i replaced the battery and still just a bunch of clicking from the starter. help please if you can. thanks im eric

sounds more like a connection issue. start with a battery load test, starter draw test and alternator test. clean the battery cables real good of all debris.
