Correct ignition switch

Postby Nautiluscont » Tue Dec 29, 2020 11:54 am

I searched the archives but didn't seem to find anything applicable.... What is the correct (originally supplied when made) ignition switch for a 48 Cub with 6v with magneto? Depending on where you look both are available. Mine currently has the simple pull lever as shown in the second pic. Thanks.

Picture #1 is the correct one. It was similar for both magneto (1 wire), and distributor (2 wire).

The top picture is the original type with 1 wire. The other is a replacement type and would work, just looks different.

Hi,
Below are pics from TM Tractor of the original style ignition switches, for up into the 1960's, up to serial number 224400, when they changed to a key switch, the Cub parts manual shows.

The 1st is for the magneto, and has 1 post for a wire.
The 2nd is for the Battery Ignition unit, and has 2 posts for wires. :)
