thinking out loud here...........

two stage safety switch

in the heavy cable to the starter

wire in a cut-off relay

mount the relay activation wire up

by the steering wheel, so you can only reach it from the seat.

connect this wire to a button you have to hold in.

power is now available at the starter with button held in

to activate starter, wire in a Ford "8N" starter solenoid which

uses a ground wire to activate.

make a insulated bracket for the ground wire,

and mount it to the steering post, exactly inline with the shifter

when it is in neutral.

to start, hold down steering wheel button to supply power to

the starter, push shift lever all the way to the right when in neutral.

When the shifter makes contact with the bracket, it will supply the

ground and the tractor will turn over.

When the tractor starts, let go of the push down button on

the steering wheel. Then the shifter setup will not be 'live' and you won't engage the starter accidentally when shifting

I'm going to rig up the shift lever/Ford N solenoid setup only

on a Super H that I never used the high gears on,

so it won't start unless in neutral and I don't have to bend over so far to reach the stock 'pull' rod

for the 2 stage setup, you will need to connect the tractors normal wiring to the battery side of the relay of course
