Where would you mount a foot starter switch on a C. If anyone has done this please let me know how you did it.

What do or dont you have? The bracket that the starter rod works thru can be made from a piece of angle iron. It has one bolt that holds it fast to the tractor and uses the battery box bolt that is at the rear most of the two battery box bolts. I have made several of the cams that fasten under the starter push button. Someone else ask for pictures and I have not taken them as yet.
I am old and move slow and then after I get some where to do something I forget why I was there. So yall will have to hang tight or find someone quicker to the draw.

I have a B in the shop that I am just about to put the starter rod on. It wont be tonight though. After SIX YEARS I am close to driving it out of the shop.
This project is one that nightmares are made from.

Ok, pardon my lack of knowledge about this tractor's orignal starter system..but when I got it from my brother (now gone) he had started it by pulling out the switch in the box then used the hot battery cable to the starter itself. There is no starter rod, or anything. What I did was connected up one of those universal foot starter switches but I have no where to hang it. I have a breaker toggle switch in the box that cuts the power to the starter foot switch. If there's something better than the foot switch then I'm ready to change it. If there's a bracket of sorts that can be made that would help too. I'm patient..the tractor's been very patient...I'm getting older...do tractors really age??

You are gonna start it old chevy style. My 1926 Chevy starts with a foot button. You would have to change starters to change it back to where it was coming out of the factory. It originally had what is called a pig tail starter rod that you pushed with your heel. I have bought B"s and C"s that had the push button mounted in the box beside the light switch. Some have key start. I might still have an old box that has one in. I pull all that stuff off when I get around to it after I get them home. I have several good starters that I pulled off with the threaded terminals. I think they can be changed back but never got around to doing any of them.

The B and C are identical with regard to the starting switch. So if you could buy the parts from a B, that would work. I helped to mechanically restore a B that had the starter rod missing. Borrowed the rod from a friend's C and made a duplicate.
