Bolens Switch

When interlock switches are working properly, they will keep the engine from starting if there is no foot is not on the brake or if the parking brake is not set. When the switch breaks, it will not allow current to reach the starter even when the brake is on, which means the engine will not start. If the solenoid is not clicking when the ignition key on the tractor or mower is turned, the interlock switch is likely to blame. This is a genuine OEM replacement interlock switch that can help get a lawn tractor up and running again. Is is compatible with riding tractors and mowers from many different brands, including Craftsman, Bolens, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, MTD, and Troy-Built.

The momentary switch is a part that is unique to self-propelled lawn mowers and used to control the power of the self-propelled movement. The momentary switch provides power when pressed and held, and will ensure that the unit operates properly while in use. Over time, the momentary switch can become worn, short out, or just stop working as it should. This will require a replacement with a compatible part or the self-propelled part of the machine will not work properly. This genuine OEM part is compatible with self-propelled mowers from Cub Cadet, Bolens, MTD, Murray, and Troy-Bilt. It is made of durable materials and sold individually. Replacing this switch requires a wrench and screwdriver, as well as a socket set. Without a self-propelled switch, the mower will still operate but it will require the user to push the machine with their entire body weight. This can make the process of mowing much more difficult and often cause further unnecessary wear to the machine, which is why a replacement is essential.
