Key Switch
 

Here is the final touch to my 3 digit recoil O!! A NOS single post key switch. Was looking for one at Red Power this year and the vendors looked at me like I was nuts and said “you will never find one of those" Then it came to me...Patton...the end.:biggrin2:

Nice Martin!:beerchug:

What Mike said. :biggrin2:

And next year I will be looking to do the same.

Hey, that's cool! I wasn't aware they were single post ign switches..... Does the post ground to the base? I don't really know how else it would work.... :bigthink:

Looks nice, Martin!

Yes, when using these switches one has to make sure that the Key Switch Housing is mounted to bare metal. That there is a good path to ground in the Tower and frame to the Battery Negative Terminal.

wow, very nice martin:beerchug:

Yes it sure does.

Cool finish product for a restoration. So what's the story with the tag? Used to be owned by a college to mow the campus grounds?

I understand the tag is from the dealer in which the tractor was sold. Collegeville Equipment Co. in Collegeville, PA. The number on the tag would be a number to identify the tractor and any information that would of been recorded on it. To the best of my knowledge the dealer is no longer in business (I think the dealer is now an equipment rental place) Also any records that did exist on this tractor have been lost.
