An 18 yr old mower, still in great shape.
Starter motor mounts with two bolts into crankcase. One bolt is tucked behind the starter in a difficult to reach position and very close to muffler assembly with roughly 3/8\" gap between starter and crankcase. Start with this bolt, otherwise by removing the open one you\'ll add torque to t

Neither an open end or box end wrench wouldn\'t fit but fortunately I had a \'skate key\' in my tools that was thin enough to feed between the starter and bolt head.
Without that I would have chosen to grind down a box end to a thinness to fit.

Starter motor failed, no action when key was turned to \"Start\". Continuity check with an Ohmmeter btw the cable connection and the starter case showed open circuit, or no electrical path inside
1. Disconnected the cable from the solenoid to the starter at the starter connector.
2. Removed the starter.
3. Installed the new starter.
4. Reconnected the cable from the solenoid.
5. Engine came right to life as soon as the key was turned to \"Start\".

Lawn tractor starter motor quit, it was over 10 yr.s old
Removed old starter and replaced with new
New starter wouldn\'t start
Did a bench test on new starter and noted it was turning in reverse
I changed alignment of brushes and it ran ok
Reinstalled starter
solenoid was complicated due to location under the rear body with removal of battery and battery pan...bolts are outside the rear top of the body and you cannot see the nuts inside the body...starter is easy but you need to remove the motor cover and use a torx bit set.
