1948 john deere B starter upgrade

[Wildbill3434]

Hello everyone I hope someone can help. I have a 48 john deere b I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade the starter to a modern solenoid on starter? The starter button switches are made cheap and I am sick of replacing them all the time. Is there another starter that fits ??? Let me know plzzz

any starter shops near you? have them put a new stud in the case so you can attach the cable from the solonoid. I can do it but shipping is high.

IIRC, his starter doesn't have an "inertial starter drive", but rather one that gets shoved into engagement when the operator stomps on the starter "pedal", making it bit more awkward to covert to a remote solenoid and pusbutton.

I guess it could still be done, but that would require the operator to stomp on the starter "pedal" to engage the drive and THEN depress the new starter button.

NOT saying it wouldn't work, I just don't ever encountering such an "improvement" "in the wild", LOL!

Will the starter from a 530 fit into a B?

Maybe possible, but good luck finding one.
