You can get a new egnition swith at a hardware store for like 10 bucks... very cheap fix and easy to beatQuote:

Hotwiring your tractor is no problem. However, I will not go into detail of how to do so.
MOWERMAN, must spread some around, however you are correct, almost all are generic and less than 3 bucks
I also lost the key to our riding lawn mower; however, I have no wish to hotwire it - just looking for the easiest solution to get the thing started. Where can I buy the 2 keys mentioned above to see if either of them will work for me? Thanks!Quote:

E-mail your address to me at this forum and I will send you one
You can buy then at Sears Parts stores for $3.49 but the other guys are totally correct. Many keyes operate almost every tractor, mine evenb starts my snow blower and Kawasaki Mule.
Small engine repair shops, hardware stores, maybe even wal-mart. I hope this info does not fall into the wrong hands.Quote:

Those naughty children don't need a key, heck, they can hot wire one more quick than I can. Probably because there eyesight is better than mine though. That's why Lowe's and Home Depot have log chains and locks on them
Go to any lawnmower shop and you can buy a universal key for it.
