This part is a switch in the control system of a lawn tractor or lawnmower that activates the central electrical systems. Known as a starter switch, it is responsible for turning the power on for the mower. If the engine will not start and the electric starter does not engage, the ignition switch may be defective and needs to be replaced. To check an ignition switch, use an ohmmeter to determine if there is any connection between the S and B terminals. If no connection is detected, the ignition switch is the problem. Replacing an old or malfunctioning ignition switch on a riding mower is quick and easy. First, disconnect the battery and remove the bolt connecting it to the negative cable. Remove the ignition switch and disconnect the wire harness attached to the back. Install the new ignition switch, connect the wire harness, and then reconnect the battery. This part is compatible with specific products from popular brands like Ariens, Craftsman, Husqvarna, Murray, Poulan, Ryobi, and Weed Eater. It is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.

The starter solenoid, also called a starter relay, is a low-amperage relay that completes the high-amperage connection between the starter motor and the battery when the ignition key is turned. The starter solenoid is needed to engage the starter motor. When the ignition is turned on, the battery sends a small electrical charge to the starter solenoid. The solenoid shuts a switch, so a more significant amount of current is sent to the starter motor. The starter motor shaft starts to rotate and engage the teeth of the flywheel. The flywheel then turns the crankshaft to put the engine in motion. A bad solenoid can deny the flow of electricity to the starter motor and prevent engine startup. However, other underlying problems may also exist. The battery may be in good condition, but the engine is not cranking, or clicking and grinding noises may come from the solenoid. These are signs that the starter solenoid should be replaced. This starter solenoid is for use in riding lawn tractors and zero-turn riding mowers. It is compatible with specific models from different brands, including Ariens, Craftsman, Dixon, Husqvarna, Hyper Tough, Jonsered, Murray, Poulan Pro, Redmax, and Snapper. It is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer and is sold individually.
