location of solenoid on a murray riding mower?

I need to know where the solenoid is located on a 16.5HP 42", model 42591x92A murray riding mower (and what it looks like)

The solenoid is a black plastic thing thats bolted near to the engine somewhere...it has 2 large electrical terminals and 2 smaller ones. To find it, either trace the positive lead from the battery (which goes directly to it) or find the starter motor (largish cylindrical thing on the side of the engine) and follow the large electrical lead from it - it too goes directly to the solenoid.
