C-145 starter solenoid issues

[rustyedge1 198]

Solenoid starting to give me issues as it’s original to tractor an you can’t find one like it. Don’t know part number. Has K341 16hp engine.

There are so many on line and locally and I really don’t know which to buy. Any advise welcome.

I changed the switch as I had a NOS new one that was same part number as old one.

Old solenoid gets fire but plunger inside is sticking at times now. If I work the switch I can get it to start.

I don’t like the looks of the new ones, but don’t have much choice.

I use a Cole Hersee brand. All metal. Can get the part number later.

Grab a Ford 3 terminal starter solenoid from bout any automotive store. Looks the same as the one you have.
