Charlie-
I was thinking that the "too hot" condition resulted from hours of current passing through the solenoid, rather than external temperatures.
I think new ones are in the $50 or less range, since it is a standard Bosch part, but I have seen some folks asking $320 for it, so check your part #s, and try to cross reference.
Merry Christmas!

Now that I've wired around the seat switch, I'll use the shutoff switch as you suggest. I was wondering how I was going to do that.
On inspection last evening, I confirmed that the lever is just a kill switch, not hooked to the solenoid.
And, the solenoid worked properly after resting overnight. I guess it could have gotten pretty hot with several hours of plowing, but the temp gauge wasn't showing hot. Outside temp was about freezing. On occasion when I have gotten the engine hot mowing, it has been hard to restart and I've had to let it cool. Maybe the solenoid is sensitive to heat.(If it malfunctions again, I hope it will be in the run position.)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
