Actually, I think the question was about how the starter Bendix is activated.

Not all M/SM's had a solenoid that activates the starter: some used a heavy duty push button that simply routed voltage directly to the starter, rather than activating a solenoid that then routes the power.

As far as location, it should always be mounted on the starter if you have an original round solenoid. There's a solid metal bar that connects from the output side of the solenoid to the starter (only about 2 inches long). I've seen some tractors with after-market solenoids, but if those are used, you're best bet is to trace the power cable from the battery to see if your tractor has a solenoid or not, as those can be mounted just about anywhere. (I used one on an H, and mounted the unit in the space under the rear gas tank mount.)

Hope this helps.
