What goes here???

[moonbayman]

I bought this old 2n that was sitting in a field and missing parts. Any idea what bolts on here below the battery box? Looks like they had done a 12 volt conversion some time ago. Hole with greasey residue and a mounting bolt on either side. Thanks for the help!

That's the safety starter solenoid mount.

Think that is where selonoid switch goes battery cables hook to it push button starter engages it

t was manual push button switch, not a solenoid.

Agree, original mechanical starter switch.
Switch had a gasket behind it (9N11467) to keep the splash lube
for the steering from leaking out. I wonder why it's so clean.

If you don't put it back to original.You need to plug that hole or moisture will get in your transmission.

Naw, it's a toothbrush holder.

this picture is timely, i just pulled that white bolt. i didn't like the way the tool box wiggled around on the two existing bolts at the top, so i added a bracket there.

i don't have a toothbrush installed

but, in my defense - i am in the midst of the world's slowest engine rebuild, and during the whole thing, there's been a toothbrush on the seat. now i know where it goes, and mine's an oral b too, so i should be all set
