I had the same dilemma with my W9. When I bought the tractor it had: 12V alternator conversion, push button start mounted on the elec'l box, Ford-style solenoid mounted on the fuel tank support, individual push-pull switches for the front and rear, no fuse, after-market square headlights.
I was originally going to return everything to original except the alternator. So, I found a good light switch and rewired all the lights and installed original-style tear drop lights. Now the starter, as original, is supposed to have a saddle-mount switch w/ a pull rod. The previous owner drilled and tapped the copper lug to use a 3/8" eyelet battery cable w/ the solenoid. Instead of swapping all that out, I simply moved the starter button to a less conspicuous location (at the base of the steering column where the shutter controls would be.)
Looks good, and works great. I love reliable 12v starts in 15 degree weather!
