New SA Guy - You've got the bendix drive figured out! However what you refer to as a "clutch starter" is actually a "solenoid shifted pinion" type starter. It uses a solenoid mounted on the starter to physically shift the starter pinion to engage the ring gear. Once the pinion is fully engaged the solenoid then closes the power circuit to the starter causing the starter to crank the motor. Once the motor fires and the operator releases the starter button, a spring in the solenoid retracts the pinion back out of the ring gear. An overrunning clutch is provided in the pinion to prevent ring gear from overspeeding the starter in the event the operator delays releasing the start button after the engine starts.

I doubt you will find a solenoid-shifted starter that will fit your SA - the whole design of the starter is different. In addition you would need to wire up a pushbutton (or key-type switch) to control the starter solenoid. However it is not difficult nor expensive to replace the bendix/pinion assembly (the "starter drive") on an existing starter. Last time I checked a new starter drive lettered Farmall was about $50 or so.

Hope this helps...
