I have 2 old Farmall tractors (actually 4 but two in particular) - one

want to replace is mechanical lever energized and the one I want to
put in was started by push button which was wired direct - battery to
switch, switch to starter. I bought a new heavy duty push button ($17
at NAPA) and was planning to make a mount for it. But now I'm
thinking instead of running battery cables to and from the switch, I
should be thinking about installing a starter solenoid - but it would
have to be real heavy duty cause these are 6 volt tractors. Any
thoughts ?

I just remembered how convoluted the TSC web site was. Use the link
above to locate the store nearest you and get the address and phone #.
I took a quick peek at the site and didn't see any solenoids, but can
guarantee they carry both 12v and 6v solenoids (and you can pickup a
carb rebuild kit or two while you're there).

The Farmall (Model B) I had didn't have a solenoid on it. No lights or
starter either, but would start on the first 'push' of the crank almost
every time.
