Product Overview
When a tractor gives one click but the starter never turns—or the solenoid contacts are burned and intermittent—this continuous-duty-style switch may be the failed link between the battery and starter. Verify battery charge, safety switches, control voltage, cables, and starter condition first.
This is a four-terminal 12V solenoid. Match the heavy-stud size, control terminals, mounting bracket, duty rating, and the complete Trombetta/MTD number. Reversing wiring or bypassing the safety circuit can damage equipment or create an unintended start.

- 100A current rating reference

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, engine or equipment configuration, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original part, identifying numbers, dimensions, connections, and mounting details before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a solenoid click and still be bad? A: Yes. The coil can click while burned heavy contacts fail to send enough current to the starter.
Q: Will this bypass my mower safety switches? A: No. Install it in the original circuit; never bypass the equipment's starting interlocks.
Q: How do I tell a bad solenoid from a bad starter? A: Measure control voltage and voltage drop across the heavy terminals during a start request using the service procedure.
Q: Does terminal position matter? A: Yes. Match the four-terminal arrangement and wire each connection exactly as the original.
