Additional Information
This MTD Lawn Tractor Starter Solenoid, part number 725-06153A, replaces the previous part number 725-06153. It directs battery power to the engine starter when you turn the key, allowing your lawn tractor to start reliably and consistently.
If your lawn tractor won't start even with a fully charged battery, or if the starter engages sporadically, the solenoid may be the culprit. Replacing a worn or faulty solenoid helps restore dependable ignition performance and prevents delays during mowing sessions.
Before beginning installation, disconnect the battery to avoid accidental electrical contact. Use a socket wrench to remove the old solenoid and install the new one, following your service manual's wiring diagram for correct terminal placement. Always wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
Choosing a genuine MTD solenoid from Sears PartsDirect helps maintain your lawn tractor?s performance using parts engineered for your equipment model.
