WELL THERE IS A FORD STYLE REMOTE STARTER SWITCH THAT MOUNTS IN ENGINE
COMPARTMENT(MANY of us are familiar with) but there is a nice one for
FORD tractors avail. that has a push button on top for engaging the
starter with out key . Works great for ign.switch troubles or tune ups.
(make sure its in NEUTRAL) this should be available at any Farm&Tractor
or Commercial Garden center.

A long time ago, I adopted the practice of
installing  extra wires and a suitable switch from the solenoid to the
engine
compartment on all of my vehicles.  Usually used during routine
maintenance.  When
needed, I would turn on the ignition switch in front, open the engine
compartment,
and while pushing the added starter switch, use the before mentioned
persuader to
tap the starter accesable over the transmission.
Hang in there....
