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

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.

I checked the TSC catalogue and saw all kinds of tractor parts - except no
solenoid. NAPA's site shows a bunch of heavy duty solenoids but 12 or 24
volt (no 6 volt) and they ran $70 to $100. Maybe I better go back to
converting these suckers from 6 to 12 volt like I've threatened to do for a
couple years..
