I was looking at the IPB and they did not show a separate part number for the solenoid, just a part number for the complete starter, with solenoid.

I just tried the search in the parts catalog and it only brought up the fuse and relay for the solenoid.

I recently had the same issue and had my starter rebuilt. Meanwhile I ordered a new starter from India and have it available for sale if interested. Still in sealed box - never opened. $150 plus shipping.

It’s definitely your starter. I fought that on mine for months. Always acted real lazy like battery was dead, then got to the point where solenoid would kick out midway thru cranking making a really bad noise with flywheel. It was crazy how quick it started with new starter.

Wish I could. My Roxor and I live on a small island off the coast of Puerto Rico…no bridge, so shipping costs are outrageous to the main island. I can get parts shipped in, but Pep Boys and Autozone are out of reach
Any other way to test the starter? Thanks.

Never did buisness with them, but they look legit going by past ebay reviews

Thanks for all the responses. I installed a new starter from Sherwood Tractor. Cranked first hit of the key. Visual inspection of old starter looked normal, so leaning towards the solenoid being shot. i will test it and I’ll be on the lookout for a solenoid, if it tests bad. PITA to remove/install the starter for this old soldier.

Hey PR, I have looked for individual solenoids and have not found one. Possibly you could get the engineering numbers off yours and locate one that way. Mahindra does not show the solenoid as an individual part.
