This is an OEM sourced replacement ignition switch. It is commonly used on a variety of riding lawn mowers/tractors. Switch plays an important role because it allows user to easily start the mower using only a turn key. Because switches have mechanical internal parts, over time they will begin to fail requiring replacement. It has a plastic body and it is sold individually. Please note, the key is not included, it is sold separately.
To replace this switch no tools will be needed.
• Unplug the wires from an old switch
• Remove the switch by squeezing tabs
• Secure new switch in the opening
• Reattach wires and test the new switch

To be really safe, disconnect the negative side of the battery from the black wire.
1. For ignition switch remove the battery if it makes it easier to grab the harness plugged into the switch.
2. Remove the wire harness plug from the old switch. Be careful not to break the retaining parts of the wire harness while releasing it from the ignition switch.
2. Squeeze the retaining clips on the switch so you can remove it out of the dash board. Use pump pliers if it helps to squeeae the retainers.
3. If the wires will reach, bring them through the hole in the dash and plug the harness back in to the new switch before you push the it back into the hole on the dash. Otherwise, just plus in the harness after installing the new switch in the dash.
Seat safety switch.
1. Lift up the seat.
2. Disconnect the plugged in wires from the plunger switch. Be careful not to break off the retaining parts of the wire plug.
3. Remove nuts an bolts that are retaining the switch mounting plate under the seat. Pay attention to how the seat springs are installed so you can put them back in right. You may not have to take them all out to get enough access to remove the switch.
4. Squeeze the retaining clips on opposite sides of the switch. Pump pliers can help here if you need more power to let the switch pass through the plate it is mounted in.
5. Remove the switch and install the new one.
6. Remount the plate under the seat with the new switch installed.
7. Plug in the wire harness.
Note: This did not fix the problem, just gave me two new switches. To fix the problem I had to install a simple toggle switch to ground the wire from the engine kill diode to the engine. I never could see how the diode actually killed the engine under the old orginal wiring. I installed the diode and the coils exactly like the old one had been. It is still a mystery to me but the engine runs great and now I can shut it off. I just switch the ground off to start and run the engine. Another problem may have been a poorly reinstalled safety switch under the PTO clutch after I took it off to check it for continuity.
