(quoted from post at 17:02:42 04/18/20) Does the ford tractor 860 diesel have a neutral start switch as used on the 8N and Ford Jubilee?
(quoted from post at 09:24:13 04/19/20)
The safety starter switch (if one can call it a switch) on any non-SOS Ford tractor built prior to 1965, is a mechanical plate that prevents the starter button from being depressed unless the gearshift is in the neutral position.
There is nothing electrical about it. 861 is one of these tractors. If the transmission is in neutral, the starter button can be depressed, thus giving the solenoid engaging coil a ground to complete its circuit and pull the solenoid contacts in.
SOS models, on the other hand, have a safety starter switch under the transmission cover. It completes the solenoid ground circuit only when the SOS transmission is in Park.

The safety part is a plate that keeps the button from being depressed unless the gear selector is in neutral, but the button itself is indeed a switch, and it controls the flow of electricity, so there is indeed something "electrical" about it. The button is the switch that completes the circuit to ground. Why are you saying that the internal switch on an S-O-S is a switch and the button on the manual transmissions is not a switch?

you're reading things into my reply! The plate that prevents the starter button from being depressed has nothing electrical about it! The starter button is just that, a starter button. It's not the part that enables the safety. Whereas, if you knew anything about an SOS, you'd know that it has an electrical switch that that is closed by the shift shaft cam in the transmission when in Park to enable the ground.
