871 SOS dash stuff

[WGB]

My '59 871 SOS was in a fire and the wiring is all burned up. The key switch is missing from the left side of the dash - is this simply an on/off switch for the ignition? I found a push button under the right side of the dash - is this the starter button? How do you turn on the head lights? There is a toggle switch below the push button - is this for the headlights, or possible the rear work light? I realize a previous owner could have made some modifications, so I am only asking as a place to start. Thanks.

1) Yes, the key switch is simply an On/Off switch.
2) Yes, the push button under the right side is the starter button.
3) The original headlight switch was a Push/Pull switch located on the right side of the lower dash under the starter push button. If the tractor was equipped with a Ford work light it had an On/Off switch built into the light housing.

Great - thanks. The toggle switch is probably where the original push/pull for the head lights was located.
