Making progress. Oil pump and pan reinstalled today. Now for the starter. I think it's a Delco but can't really read the tag. There is a button on top that when pressed makes the starter turn. There is also an additional component that appears to press the button apparently manually. I'm just not sure what that part is for. The starter button on the dash does not seem to work. Unless I rotate this unamed piece the starter does not seem to actually engage. Is there some linkage or something missing? The piece I'm talking about rocks back and forth and has a deep slot cut in it for unknown reason. Help.

The button on the dash is the preheater switch. It has nothing to do with the starter switch. You need a new starter switch the way you describe it. The linkage is worked with the foot petal. In 1957 they went to key start which solved the problem with the linkage. More questions? J.

From the serial number it is a 1957. There is a pre-heat button however this tractor also has a large button (looks like a dimmer switch on an older car) that the battery cable connect to. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the starter switch. There is currently no linkage to the starter so I can't tell what's supposed to be there. I'll see if I can get a picture of the starter. My current thought is it's not the correct starter at all.

O. K. Depending on how much it rains, if it rains and I have some time before the end of the week I will check the number for the starter you should have. One of the feature of the 1957 line was for the diesels the lver you pushed now gave wasy to key start. Your preheat switch should be an old fashioned dimmer switch. You should order yourself an operators manual. J.

thanks for checking the starter out. I can read that it is a Delco 12V. The rest of the plate is going to be a challenge but maybe with a magnifying glass. I have two buttons on the dash one is a small silver button that looks like the starter button we had on a '49 Ford pickup. It has a couple of fairly small wires coming out the back. The other button looks like an old floor mounted dimmer switch and has battery cables coming out the back. It is lower on the dash than the small button. I do need an owners manual that's for sure!
