I have a push start 261 in my 57 3100. I want to convert it to a key start. Do I need to buy a new starter, or will adding a solenoid to the old starter do the trick?

Hy Ralf, I'm afraid it's new starter time, the stomp starter cannot be converted to a solenoid type.

Can't add a solenoid to your old one. Parts store should be able to get you one with a solenoid.

I like my stomp starter.

Tractor supply sells stomp starter switches. You can use one of these and use it in conjunction with a solenoid type starter.
