Where did you hide the solenoid?  I see the heavy duty switch but the wires don't look big enough to use direct.

Didn’t have the 6 gauge wire in at the time. Has them in it now. No solenoid.

One thing IH did was use the push button for the starter like their large tractor and then went to solenoid after that. No high current through the switch. 

I will add a solenoid when I redo my 1277.
