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!
I would recommend using the proper John Deere brand oil filter, even if it is more expensive. Using the wrong kind of oil filter could cause a lot of damage to the mower, the repairing of which could be more expensive than buying the correct type of filter in the first place. Of course you can use a different brand of oil filter. After all, John Deere does not make oil filters in the first place. That John Deere filter is made by another filter company and just branded with John Deere. I recommend Purolator oil filters. They make OEM filters for many companies and may even make the John Deere filter. You are just paying a premium price for the name and nothing more. Go to any auto parts store that sells Purolator filters and tell them the model filter your lawn mower uses and they will cross reference it with Purolator. Bosch, & Wix are also great filters.
Unfortunately, you cannot get a lawn mower in GTA IV.
One can purchase a Starter Solenoid at Oreilly Auto, Amazon, Auto Zone, Advance Autoparts, eBay, Agco Auto, This Old Tractor, Renn List and many more.
The NAPA where I live in CT USA does.
Auto parts store, dealership
Auto zone told me it was a m/c solenoid. MIXTURE CONTROL SOLENOID (MC solenoid). It is on the carbureator. I will try to add more when I find out what fixes my truck.
Check the solenoid. This happened to us and we had to have the solenoid replaced. Part cost about AUD$240 but labour was $800!
Most auto parts stores should be a common part
I DO BELIEVE THE SOLENOID IS MOUNTED ON THE STARTER AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER TO REPLACE THE SOLENOID remove the starter and take it down to your local auto parts store. they can bench test the starter and give you the proper solenoid if it needs to be replaced.
One may purchase used John Deere tractors from Auto Trader. They have a section in their publications that deals specifically with farm equipment and tractors.
Yes, very common. Replace solenoid pack.
Napa, auto zone, most mower shops,
