I hope someone can help me out. I just bought a used 2420 farm pro 20h tractor. The solenoid is going out and I've been trying to find a replacement for it. The starter is fine, it just takes about 10-15 tries before that solenoid kicks in and turns. I found a farm pro site, but that was a lost cause, they have everything but a solenoid or a starter. None of the local auto stores have anything either. Would appreciate any information on where to find parts for this thing.

If it's the QD100C3 starter, you might not actually need a new solenoid. That series of tractor has a chronic problem of voltage loss through the wiring harness. The solenoid needs a minimum of 10v from the keyswitch to kick the pinion gear all the way to the point of engagement with the ring gear. 8v-9v is a hit an miss proposition, which accounts for the "spin-whirr-try again" issue. Less than that, and it just clicks.
Voltage can only be measured while the starter is actually cranking, so it's really a two man job. If you don't have a digital multimeter, you can try jumping with a screwdriver (bypasses the keyswitch and associated wiring). The usual fix is to add a Ford type starter relay between the keyswitch and the solenoid. Easy and inexpensive fix.

Yes we have the solenoids,sorry for the late response,I don't check this board as much as some of the others.
We should have any parts you will every need for your tractor,it's the same as the Jinma 200 series
Thanks
