Need a key for Wheel Horse 212-6

Recommended Posts

ernier4154

I broke the key off in my Wheel Horse 212-6 lawn tractor. The part of the key with the threads is still in the ignition switch so I can still start the mower with needle-nose pliers, but I don't trust it to last for long. I need a new key. My existing key has the word "INDAK" stamped on it.

 

I have read online that the keys for these old mowers are fairly interchangeable. Is that true? Can anyone point me to where I may get a new key, or maybe someone here has one they can part with? This is a 30+ year old Wheel Horse 212-6 lawn tractor. 

 

Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

@GlenPettit  a vendor on the site here sells them.  Send him a PM.  :)  Glen has had something going on lately...if he does not answer you, I may have an extra one here for you.  :occasion-xmas:

You should be able to find one of these most any place!  My Ariens and Toro snowblowers have these, and I know some of the old snowmobiles took the same 'Indak' key.

Mine looks a little different, it's from an old Toro and has their old logo with their trademark 'bullhead' on it.  I treasure this old key! :)

Yes just about any lawnmower key will fit...I've got a whole jar of them in my shop, every summer there are several junked out mowers that show up at the city dump...I pull the keys out of all them I see and put them in a jar, never know when you might need one. It's saved me a couple times either from losing a key or buying a tractor without a key

Small vise-grips with a red handle would make a fashion statement as well... :)

Thanks for the advice folks. I was able to get a new key today at Tractor Supply. And it even works!

Appreciate the help.
