Easy switch out part for my john deere e100. Came with the extra ground wire that I didnt need but can def. Find use for. I'm a woman and did the switchout in 8-10 mins. Easy and no surprises.

I bought the solenoid to replace on on a model 140 John Deere on 03/04/2020. It worked fine but did not last long. Being a failure analysis electronics engineer, I took it apart to see why it failed after a few uses. I found the wires from the solenoid were soldered very tightly to to the terminals there was no way the wire could flex when the solenoid was energized. Thus the strain on the wire at the solder connection caused the failure. The manufacturer needs to change how the wires are soldered and allow some room for the wires to flex when the solenoid energizes.
