new to me Power Major

howdy folks, I got this PM few days ago, I been wanting one for awhile. I'm not totally unfamiliar with the fordsons, cause my brother has the Major that our granddad had. I have a couple questions before the manuals get here
first q. how does the starter solenoid mount and hook up, the way its been jerry rigged is inconvinent and dangerous
does the seat cushions available here fit this pan seat? I gotta have some kind padding, this things like settin on a rock
hope the pics come thru

The starter solenoid on the power majors should be mounted on the side of the battery box by the voltage regulator mounted to the air filter housing. you can use the generic Ford solenoid used on the 60s/70s cars and trucks. when the lever to the starter is pushed down it engages the bendix and bumps the switch that energizes the solenoid.
 
Replaced the starter on my 57 Major years ago with a starter for a 4000. It has the solenoid mounted on it and spins the engine a lot faster. Add a switch to dash and no more starting problems for me.
