73 no name key switch

[gt14rider 693]

Good afternoon, 

Started messing with my 73 no name, wiring in rough shape.

 jumped starter, motor turns over, will not turn over with key. Checked key switch,believe to be wrong , it has a M terminal, not a I (eye ) terminal.  Should have been a 92-6785 (101917)  having trouble  finding , stems doesn't make one,  anyone know of a good (cheap) one. 

Thanks

I think the 73 had the extra key position fr lights which you don't need. Toro  #103990 should work.

I concur.

Stens DOES make one. 

Please. For the love of tractors and sanity.  NEVER buy a "cheap" ignition switch.

Stens 430-512 Starter Switch Replaces Toro 103990

 

Stens switch is about 12 bucks. 

You can find a Toro 103990 for less than $20.

  I got to get out of this haze. The wiring schematic I have has the switch update with the 103990#. I was looking at pictures not reading.

Thanks. EB, found one for 20 bucks, will have to switch some wires around .I don't like cheap switches either but 

Started looking for a 101917 or 92-6785 some were $30 to $60. Payed under $50 for the tractor. 

Thanks again for the replys.

@gt14rider

Did you get to doing the switch replacement? 

[gt14rider 693]

Yes put in a 103990,got on line for $20. Just wire like schematic circled in red. Had a 4 position new switch is a 3 position,  works fine
