I have tried yardman.com to no avail. It states that it cannot find this model number (even though I have the parts manual). I'm looking for the starter for this model as my tractor was running but just konked out. Looks as if the starter cable from the battery is loose and falling off the starter terminal. Looks to be burned off so I'm going to replace the battery cables and starter and see if that fixes the issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,
The starter is an engine part and you need to use the numbers off the engine to get it. Many distributors may have the engine parts as well as the mower parts. The cables are MTD parts.
Peace,
Clarke
