Hard to start when cold

I had it scanned and there are no codes

Since yesterday I have trouble starting my Explorer. It was starting before quite well. Just a few times it took a little longer to start. Now it was standing in the garage for a few days and does not start at all. The battery is new and good. The headlites are bright, the radio works and all other electric equipment is functioning well.
When I turn the key to start it either does nothing or sounds like an impact wrench. I pushed the car a little back and fore which in the first moment seemed to make a different. The engine turned about a quarter rotation and then the "impact wrench" sound came back.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Very well could be the starter(obvious I know) but the armature could be dragging inside or those pesky reduction gears get dry. It is not too few a miles for a ford starter to fail! Dont forget the gear itself, those silly things break and wear off too.

Thanks for the answer.

Yesterday I tried again to start. Now there is not even a click to hear. Will change the starter and see if this fixes it.

Thanks again
