There is a diagram several posts down that shows the switch and lettering. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have two terminals, one of which is grounded. The "S" would be to the starter and you have a push button for that. Get this one, it will do the trick for you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ignition-Key-Switch-Ariens-Exmark-Simplicity-Snapper-Troy-Bilt-NEW-2-Position/271744327867?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p20551 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HENRYG 34 #4 Posted November 3, 2017 So does the grounded one go to the rectifier to kill the engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,511 #5 Posted November 4, 2017 No not the rectifier. It goes to the ignition wire which may be on the same panel as the rectifier diodes. Garry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
