Good To Know
Q: Will this switch include the key and wiring harness? A: This switch typically comes with the key and switch body, but you should check the product listing for included components; wiring may need to be transferred from your old switch.
Q: Is this switch suitable for both 6-volt and 12-volt Ford tractors? A: Yes, this switch is designed to work with both common electrical systems found on these Ford models, but confirm your tractor's voltage before ordering.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
