I have no idea but when I saw Fordson, the first thing I thought was Vintage tractor. If you get no luck here, you might want to try and see if there is a forum for tractor fans?

On the tractor its on the passenger (port) side inline with cylinder number three.

Halfway along the starter motor, at the end of the toolbox.

Its like a big split pin that springs apart to hold itself in place. Squeeze it together to replace it.

The tractor manual is available here - http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/manuals/new_major_repair_guide.htm
