Best Answer

A solenoid is an electromagnet with a spring-loaded movable iron slug inside.

When current flows through the coil the slug moves.

You can connect anything you want to that slug ...

electrical switches, speakers, a bell - let your imagination run wild.

The shift level is locked by the shift solenoid. When you step on the brake, the brake switch sends power to the shift solenoid and it moves a lever to unlock the shifter. If either the switch or solenoid is bad, you can't shift out of park.


What is direct acting solenoid valve?

A direct acting solenoid valve is one in which the action of the solenoid alone switches the valve gate. Most solenoid valves are "piloted", which means that a relatively small solenoid valve is used to allow pressurized air to actuate the valve gate mechanism. Because the solenoid does all of the work in a direct acting valve, the solenoid must therefore be larger than that of a piloted valve in order to generate the switching force. Piloted solenoid valves have the advantage of being more compact and consuming less current than a direct acting solenoid valve. Direct acting solenoid valves are useful when switching low pressure fluids.

What auto solenoid fits john deere mower L111?

The starter solenoid for most old Fords will work. If you need something specific, a 1975 Ford F-150 starter solenoid will work. Just make sure your replacement solenoid has 2 large posts and 2 small posts. (They all have 2 large posts, its the number of small posts thats important). You can also order an exact replacement for about $15 here: http://www.greenpartstore.com/John-Deere-Starter-Solenoid-Kit--AM138497_p_5144.html Good luck!
