Good To Know
Q: Can this starter switch handle the electrical load of a large diesel engine?A: Yes, it is rated for the starting current draw of the listed Shibaura engines and is designed for repeated high-amperage operation.
Q: Will this switch fit the original dash opening on my tractor?A: It is built to match the mounting dimensions of the factory switch, but check your dash cutout and connector type to confirm compatibility.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
