Actually, I think the question was about how the starter Bendix is activated.
Not all M/SM's had a solenoid that activates the starter: some used a heavy duty push button that simply routed voltage directly to the starter, rather than activating a solenoid that then routes the power.
As far as location, it should always be mounted on the starter if you have an original round solenoid. There's a solid metal bar that connects from the output side of the solenoid to the starter (only about 2 inches long). I've seen some tractors with after-market solenoids, but if those are used, you're best bet is to trace the power cable from the battery to see if your tractor has a solenoid or not, as those can be mounted just about anywhere. (I used one on an H, and mounted the unit in the space under the rear gas tank mount.)
