How do you test a solenoid on a riding mower?
The solenoid will have two big posts and one or two small posts. Mark and remove the wires from the small posts. If you have one small post you can hook up a jumper wire from the + side of the battery to the small post and it should make the starter crank over. If it has two small posts hook one jumper from the + side of the battery to one of the small posts and another jumper from the - side of the battery to the other small post. If it is OK it will engage the starter. If you get nothing then the solenoid is bad.

Without the entire model number I can't tll you where to find the solenoid. But, if you follow the positive (+) battery cable from the battery it will go directly to the solenoid. Unhook the cable from the battery first. Then mark the cables that go on the solenoid so you can put them back on the new solenoid in the same positon. All you have to do is remove the wires from the solenoid and unbolt it from the mower. Then put the new one in it's place and hook the wires up just as you removed them.
