works great
This took a while to get here because of the post office in Kansas. It sat there 4 days but when it did arrive it was easy to replace and the mower then ran better than ever.

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Starter would not completely disengage from ring gear due to bad solinoid, starter was damaged due to interference.
Troy-Built Mustang 50\" ZTR MOWER / TRACTOR
1. Disconnected & Removed battery to make room to get to solenoid. ...about 10 mins
2 Removed engine cover & starter ..about 20 mins
3 Disconnected & Removed solenoid, this is difficult due to location that is under the seat mount 1+ hour, lots of metric socket adapters an
... Read mored extensions needed. You must do it by \"feel\" since everything is a blind removal. Very bad design for solenoid location.
4 reassembled with new parts and tightened all down, 45 mins
I suggest you take pics of all solenoid connections before disconnecting.
Remover the shroud around top of engine. took the started wire off post on starter. removed two bolts at top of starter and removed old starter. Mated the new started to engine and installed bolts. Attached red starter wire to the post. replaced shroud. New started working great.
