John Deere D, with all due respect, as I understand it I don't think your statement below is exactly correct IF ALL IS WIRED CORRECT.
YOU STATED:
"As you are probably aware of, if the tractor is IN GEAR and SOMEONE ENGAUGES the STARTER even with the ignition turned off you could get hurt!"
If the ignition is turned off, there's a kill switch safety grounding wire connected to the MAG terminal on the switch that wires to the coils output (to kill spark, its like points never open) as I recall for safety purposes so stepping on the starter with IGN off DOES NOT ALLOW THE COIL TO FIRE EVEN THOUGH BALLAST IS BY PASSED AND COIL IS FED VOLTAGE VIA THE STARTER
If you notice the coil (or via ballast) effectively has FOUR wires to it. One from IGN and Ballast to input,,,,One up from starter to input for ballast by pass,,,,,,,one output to distributor,,,,,,,,,one on output up to MAG safety grounding kill switch/wire which is grounded anytime ign is off
SOOOOOOOOOO stepping on starter even with IGN off DOES NOT ALLOW COIL TO FIRE since anytime its in any position OTHER THEN ON the coils output is grounded which is like points never open SO NO FIRE. I think that same MAG ign switch terminal also serves as the grounding kill switch if the tractor had a mag ignition IE it grounds out the points
