They have ALWAYS been a problem, right from the get-go. The problem is, you can't push the starter button fast enough to make contact without a spark jumping across the gap. Eventually, the sparks burn the contacts, and the switch stops working. If you got 5 years of regular use out of a starter switch, then you've done well.

I've got a 1950 H with what appears to be the original starter button. I've owned this tractor for 12 years, it sees regular use because it is a working tractor, and the starter button works just fine. I've never had a speck of trouble with it.
