Orig Key Switch gone bad

Lynn,

The Chinese OEM switches aren't that great so a lot of owners replace them with a Ford cold-start switch.  Here's the one: Ford Cold-Start Switch.   You just need to use an ohmmeter to determine which wire goes to which terminal. 

If you want the OEM we have them in stock

I've not had a problem with the stock switch but think for the price another stock switch would be “plug and play”.

Not to  but for those new here this is what we did when assembling the tractor. Like BCMike I thought the wire going to the intake heater circuit was too small and thought it should go through a relay (solenoid).The solenoid and wire came off a junk Honda, the circuit breaker and connectors were in my tool box. No major mods to the wiring, just ran a #12 wire from the starter to circuit breaker and clipped the #16 going to the preheater and used it to energize the solenoid.The tractor came with glow plugs and a buss bar but weren't being used, we added them to the circuit.

Yes, the original start switches are crappy. My tractor is a 2001 and the piece of shit switch is still working like new. I am completely disappointed in the quality and how long they last. It is 10 years old and still working like new. What a shitty switch it is.
