Default Key switch for 100

I'm finely back to working on the 100 restore that I posted some months ago, After some very serious back surgery and lots of not doing very much at all, I'm finely able to stand and walk for short periods.
Anyway I have been ordering needed parts, I have a question about the key switch. Will any 2 pole key switch work. Cub cadet shows one but, $49.97 plus shipping is a little stiff for me.
When I get things going again on the 100 I will revive the original post.
Thanks Larry

Yes, $50.00 seems a bit excessive. If PC is not a concern, any On/Off key switch will work. Indak 2A431A will work.

Get a true IH key switch. Or, what I mean is a switch that uses the original IH key. You don't have to pay $50 for one.

If you are not too concerned with correct, you can use any single pole (on/off) toggle switch as well.

It doesn't prevent anyone from starting the tractor, but it will work the same as the key switch. You may need to use washers to make it fit the hole, but no cutting or anything else required. Under $10.

I'm trying to put the tractor back as original as possible. But thanks for the response.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
