JMOR:
I'm tapping you on the shoulder because I am using one of your past posts for guidance.
Just got an 860 gas frankentractor that starts and charges (I don't see how after looking at the wiring). It is a 12 volt convert on a 1 wire alternator. Immediate issue is the automotive switch start. I have a new switch and the tractor came with a new 4 prong solenoid, yet to be installed. Sooo, searched archives and found this thread:

Using the tests you provided and testing "in hand", I have new solenoid version #3. Have tested the OEM start switch and it is good (immediate connection with ground when pushed).
Have fair electrical knowledge, but a little ignorant as to wiring this solenoid. No markings whatsoever on it. Just two large (i call them load) connections and two small connections. I gather I can use this solenoid. If not will order a 3 stem version.
Can you advise?
