The gas shutoff solenoid on your John Deere LA 130 is typically located on the bottom of the carburetor bowl, and it should be screwed in to secure it in place. If you have been turning the solenoid for 20 minutes without it coming off, it's possible that it may be stuck or there could be another issue preventing it from loosening.
Here are a few things you can try:
1. Apply penetrating oil: Spray some penetrating oil (such as WD-40) around the base of the solenoid where it screws into the carburetor bowl. This can help loosen any debris or corrosion that may be causing it to stick.
2. Use a wrench or pliers: If the solenoid has a hexagonal base, you can try using an appropriately sized wrench to provide additional leverage for turning it. Alternatively, you can use pliers to grip the solenoid tightly and turn it counterclockwise.
3. Seek professional help: If the solenoid still doesn't come off after attempting the above steps, it might be best to consult a professional technician or take your mower to an authorized John Deere service center. They will have the necessary expertise and tools to diagnose and resolve the issue safely.
Remember to exercise caution while working on your mower's carburetor and ensure the engine is turned off and cool before attempting any repairs.

Question moved from Cars and Trucks category.
chaffing in the wiring harness, or possibly windings on the motor. There is a dead short somewhere.
Service manual and wiring diagram.
It could be 2 things.
Either a shear pin has sheared and the paddle is sticking at the same spot.
or
The is a nylon cog inside that has lost teeth and it sticks there.
The only way to diagnose is to take it apart. It is a very MESSY job full of grease and oil.

Question edited for typo.
Two person job. Spray the locking lugs with WD40. One person holds the machine and the other turns the bowl anticlockwise.
Full 'make model (what it is)' is useful in these questions.

In the drive train there are shear pins that are soft enough to shear if the gears are strained. It happens on bread dough if you run the machine too fast or put a piece of bone into a grinder attachment.
Or, sometimes a gear will move. if not correctly shimmed.

There are no instructions on disassembly because it is so old. There will be screws underneath. Oil will be grease that is degrading.

From what I know about these and industrial Hobart mixers is that where drive gears are on a shaft they are held by a shear pin that goes right through the gear and the shaft. They are made to shear if the grinder or planetary head is strained. It shears the pin instead of damaging the motor or shredding gears. When they do shear, there is often enough friction to turn the attachment, but not enough force under load. I see two shear pins in this diagram 19/8 and part 14/8. The diagram also show the orientation of bevel gears.

A Moulinex Coffee Mill might be a better solution for grinding wheat.

Don't forget if it is new it is under manufacturer warranty.
Make the beater isn't too low and fouling, because the bowl is set too high? Try to lock with no beater.
The machine needs stripping down as something it likely worn. The gearbox is also packed with grease and may need re-packing. They do need periodic servicing. Does it make the same noise with the bowl removed? Sometimes the noise will be attachments hitting the bowl. There is an adjustment screw underneath to see clearance.

Your'e good to go...Tip...keep the meat in a freezer for 30 minutes before grinding it. Apply olive oil in the interior parts of the unit to reduce the friction.
It sounds like there may be a few potential issues that could be causing the resistance you are experiencing:
Incorrect installation of the slow speed gear or key - If the slow speed gear or key were installed incorrectly, this could cause increased resistance in certain gears. Double-check the installation of these components to ensure they are properly oriented and positioned.
Stuck gears - If the gears and key are stuck on the drive shaft, this could cause increased resistance. Try removing the gears and key again, and make sure they are clean and free of any debris before re-installing them.
Improper alignment of the gears - If the gears are not properly aligned, this could cause increased resistance. Check to make sure the gears are properly seated and aligned with each other.
Damage to the worm wheel - The freshly chewed up center of the worm wheel could be causing increased resistance. Consider replacing the worm wheel if it appears to be damaged.
Overall, it may be helpful to consult the Hobart service manual for your specific model to ensure all components are installed correctly and to troubleshoot any additional issues that may be causing the resistance.
It sounds like the motor has lost it's power. You can take it to a repair shop and have them recondition the motor, but would probably be just as cheap to buy a new mixer.
