Lane Ranger 11,161 #1 Posted October 27, 2018 It still amazes me how many different key switches that WheelHorse andToro used on their various model tractors! I learn something new with eachswitch! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,007 #2 Posted October 27, 2018 When it comes down to the Indak switches. I usually buy a the switch to fit my needs (magneto or coil ignition) then just remove the wires from the plug and reconfigure them to work with the switch if, need be. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,673 #9 Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Lane I remember one of my first was a 312A. It had a funky foot pedal switch that had to fitted just right to start the tractor. It was a great tractor other than the safety switches. Edited October 28, 2018 by Retierd Wrencher 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,161 #10 Posted October 28, 2018 Here is a list of the various ways Indak makes its three position key switches from their website, they have 3, 4, 5 and some 6 lugs on the switches.

Warning:Unsupervised 82 #12 Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Anyone know what differs on the Indak 6 pole switches with part #103991 that have (Number 3) on the Ground pole vs (Letter G)?? Same part numbers, look the same but has that #3? This diagram shows #3 not the more common G switch? Sorry tried to just paste a pic here but Ebay didnt allow me to copy it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/270809011090?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=WB0Eoua4S1m&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=jdKlBQXkQjq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Edited May 23, 2023 by 123GO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warning:Unsupervised 82 #14 Posted May 23, 2023 Could be, It would just pop up during my search. I didn't chase it because my part had (G) & its common. I hit on this chart for Oregon switches too fwiw. Idk if Indak makes their switches, number system really differs but might help someone? https://www.lawnmowerpros.com/diy/index.php/lawn-mower-ignition-switch-by-terminal/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
