Amen to everything below. There's a fellow I've yet to meet about eighty miles east of me who has better than thrity old Farmalls siting out by the road, letters, 00s, 30s and 50s. I was looking them over one day with a mind to scoping out what sort of thing I needed to fab up for a guide bracket for the starter push rod on my '47 BN. Wouldn't you know that the first one I looked at was a B with a very low serial number. What starter? There wasn't a bulge nor a hole in the torque tube to put a starter in even if you had one. And the kill for the magneto was the cable type you describe. The kill to ground was at the front at the mag, not at the back through the chassis with the single pole switch like all the later ones were. You're stock, bud, and with a fairly rare riggin'. That's a collectible setup. Prior to SN 54386, the torque tube had no bulge or even a hole for mounting a starter. That break occurred sometime early in 1941. As far as your mag kill setup, that changed after SN 35259, which would have been sometime during 1940
