873 Deutz shut off solenoid

[greens]

Hi folks, first post. Can someone show me a picture of the location of the shut off solenoid. Machine will not shut off, have to do it manualy. I need to replace the unit. Also can these be rebuit? Bobcat wants $400.00 for a new one. Any other places to purchase this. Thanks, Greens

Call a Deutz dealer and get a price. Another member got his for $200 last year from a dealer. See the post below.

I had the Deutz dealer ship one to me. Have you thought about that route? It was considerably cheaper than going to Bobcat.

I know there's a procedure to follow when installing. Something about holding the rack one way so that the RPM's are right. If not done right the engine can overspeed. Did the new one have any instructions with it?

Picking up the new solenoid today. The old one had a sticker on it that said, when installing solenoid make sure the stop lever is in the stop position. (manual stop lever) I take it thats what you mean when refering to "rack"

Yes pulling the lever to stop moves the rack. You'll also have to remember which way you twisted it to come out. It has to go in and then be turned to line up.
