Greg,

Thanks for the feedback. I should have included some more details.

I have a brand new battery on this tractor, put in just about 3 weeks ago. It was cranking strong the morning it died on me, successfully started with no problems 3 or 4 times, so I'm pretty sure it's not the battery.

I'm eager to learn more about the solenoid. I read on some other forums of folks with similar (but not the same) model tractors with problems with the solenoid.

I posted the same question on several other forums, and some users told me the starter is bad, without providing any detail.

I was led to believe the solenoid is somewhat cheaper to replace than the starter.

Would it be safe to replace the solenoid, then test, and then only replace the starter if fixing the solenoid doesn't work?

Thanks again for the advice.

Ben
