Hi Ryan, I haven't had a lot to do with the tractors prd is the go to man on these but he hasn't been on here for a few weeks, probably not much tractor action been going on.I see it has a mechanical solonoid so all that is good and should work fine. As you know these are a very tough machine and they don't have the refinements of many of the other machines, outlast them hand over fist. When you say you want to restore it, is that a full restoration or a restoration into a good working machine again. One takes a long time the other not so long and depends on how fast the grass is growing if you need to use it. When you originally asked "electric start how does it work?' I assumed it did not work or you have never used it? Theo took out a lot of patents so it may or may not give us much of an idea. Just have to move forward one step at a time
