You have gotten some pretty good advice here so
far. That extra wire is probably indeed a bypass
to the ign for feeding battery voltage to ign when
using the starter. You will have a resistor some
where in the circuit , most likely at the coil
itself to reduce voltage when running. If not some
one has wired it poorly. You will also be able to
start the engine without turning the ign switch on
as switch is not required to run starter. Far as
the starter switch itself, well, they are very
poor now day, but , usually work ok on 12 volts.
It is with the six volts which have to carry more
current that they give a lot of problem. But, back
to the switch, where is it mounted. I find that
many on the M are mounted in such a way that when
you push the rod, or pedal, what ever you have ,
it does not push straight onto the button and
therefore deforms the switch and causes even more
problems. I dislike that set up so much I mounted
my switch on my own M in the same position that
the H uses, up on the light post and push it by
hand. Now this works good with 12 volts, but if it
was six you might better want your foot to stomp
it good and hard. That is the reason IH put them
down below for the foot in the first place, just
they did a poor job of making sure it pushed the
switch straight. I have altered a lot of them
switchs over the years for better operation. You
can tell real easy if your starter is working by
just hooking jumper cables directly to the starter
input terminal and ground on frame using a known
good battery and good cables.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
