I've had a sticky starter solenoid do this to me. I just hit it with a hammer and it's been working since. But you could replace it too.

Why does my starter on my 1985 ford ranger 2.6l v-6 4 wheel drive grind or not engage with the flywheel properly?
It could be that the starter pinion drive (also known as the bendix) is worn. If it is grinding and roatating slowly, then the bushings are worn. In either case, you neep to overhaul or replace the starter.
Is there a ground wire that goes from the starter to the frame of a ford ranger?
To my knowledge, there is no cable that grounds the starter to the frame. The starter is grounded when is bolted to the flywheel housing.
What are the chances of the fly wheel being stripped if the starter on an 87 Ford Ranger suddenly stops engaging but still spins loudly and how do you check?
If the starter has been grinding against the flywheel for quite some time there is a GOOD chance that the flywheel is stripped. On the other hand, if it just started and it's engaged thoroughly in the past, you probably just have a bad starter bendix. Pull the starter then use a screwdriver or some other tool for prying to slowly turn the flywheel and inspect each tooth of the flywheel. Look for any that are significantly worn down or missing. If ANY fit that category you will need to pull the engine or transmission and replace the flywheel or flexplate depending on whether it's a manual transmission or an automatic.
