Re: Converting stomp starter to push button
Foot starter switch for a tractor. It looks like there should be a tractor supply store in your town. This switch should do it if it clears the engine. A go into the store and look at it would indicate that.
You won't need real heavy cables like it is set up for. They were on a lot of 50's tractors.
There are cheaper ones but Cole Hersee has a great reputation and you should be able to find it locally or get an oem switch from a tractor dealer. https://www.elecdirect.com/cole-hers...s&ppc_keyword=
You just wire it hot wire to the switch, wire from the other side to the S pole on the starter.
A bit of artful fabricating with a short piece of steel tubing that slips over the top of the switch with a set screw should let you use the top part of the stomp button for an authentic look.
