Hello All.
So I have a '49 M that the previous owner has done a "custom" wiring job on. It currently has a key switch, along with a separate toggle switch for the lights. The key switch operates a separate solenoid from a Ford pickup.
The tractor has been converted to 12 v positive ground and has an electronic ignition from Denny's Carb Shop.
I would like to convert it back to the push button mounted on the steering post and eliminate the key switch.
First off, am I crazy for wanting to do this? Everything works right now, and there is even an hour meter installed. Is there anything I need to beware of?
I know that for parts I will need the starter switch, the push-pull switch, and probably some of the other innards of the light box. (I dont know if those work or not...)
Any thoughts?
