Good To Know
Q: Does this switch include a key? A: Yes, the ignition switch comes with a key that is cut to fit the switch cylinder, so installation and operation are ready out of the box.
Q: Will this switch work with my Bobcat model? A: This switch is designed for systems that use the 31-280 part number, but you should verify the pin layout and mounting hole dimensions against your original part before ordering.
