There is a reason that they stopped using those push button switches and went to solenoids.
Push button switches tend to get burned contacts, and stop working after a while because you can't push the switch fast enough to prevent it from arcing. A solenoid makes the connection much much more quickly, and as such is much more reliable.
On an M, the proper location for the push button is at the base of the steering pedestal, with a little "flapper pedal" to push it with your right toe. These can be particularly troublesome because, well, they're down near your cruddy boots when you get on and off the tractor.
Ms never had the push button switch up on the steering post like an H where you could operate it with your hand, right up through the Stage I Super M. They switched to the "saddle" type directly on the starter sometime in 1953.
A solenoid setup really isn't too complicated, and it may be worth your while to re-wire what you have.
