        Well, there has to be at least THREE terminals, if it's going to work at all. Of course, there are the two LARGE ones that go to the battery and starter, the third one is the one that you connect your yellow/green wire to. Since that wire is soldered to the stock solenoid, you will have to cut it and put on a ring terminal to fit on the tractor solenoid. Some tractor solenoids might have two small terminals. One will be for the yellow/green trigger wire, the other will need to be grounded.

            The tabs are probably ground and the small terminal is the one that goes to the starter.

              That's kinda what I figured but where would the yellow/green wire from start button go too? I really need to get it running and. Past inspection truck just went into shop

                My "guess"... the big fat wire from the battery goes on the top right. The big fat wire to the starter motor goes on the top left. The wire from the starter button goes on the bottom one.

                That's just a guess. Didn't that thing coming with a diagram ?

                  I'll second that "guess" as likely it wouldn't matter which of the top two large posts that you used as battery in and +lead out. Starter button wire to the small terminal.

                      Small terminal meaning the one that looks like ground

                        one of the top terninals will go to the starter the other to the battary and last but not least green yellow bottom with the conector on it

                          The starter button wire IS the green/yellow wire. Cut that from the old solenoid, put a spade or ring terminal on it and connect it to the lower terminal. The two large terminals at the top go to the battery and starter, direction does not matter, and the mounting lugs will ground the solenoid.

                            Ok thanks Steve. Go one more question. On mine there is a black and white wire that comes from main wiring harness and attatches to the factory solenoid where would that one go?

                              If it's a small wire, about the same size as the yellow/green wire, it is likely a ground wire.
                              Put a large ring terminal on it and snug it down with one of the mounting bolts.
