    Convert key start mower to push button start
    I have a Snapper riding mower. The pull start motor went out and I bought a key start motor that works and fits it. However, I would like to convert it from a key start to a push button start. Can anyone give me instructions on how to do this?

    Is this a 12 volt or 120 volt starter?

    Hi,
    Many of the older rear engine riders used a push button to engage the starter. The key switch was an On/Off affair that merely grounded the ignition. If you have a rear engine machine, look older parts.
    Peace,
