Tractor Supply ignition switch size

My 1964 Ford 4000 has 3/4" hole with two flat sides for the key switch. TSCO sells a 5/8" switch they claim fits everything from 8N up to the 4000. Is there something odd about the hole in my tractor, the switch TSCI sells, or their application list? Where can I get a switch that fits my tractor?
 
Aftermarket ignition switches are of VERY poor quality and do not last long.

I threw in the towel a few years ago and started buying only restoration quality ignition switches from DC.

They cost about $25/each but no issues since.

Yep, I had a cheap key switch with vinyl covered wires many years ago, within a year the wires had been rubbing against the toolbox and eventually shorted out. That's when I discovered Dennis Carpenter and bought a new, exact-as-original switch with cloth covered wires. That was in 2003 and it is still on the tractor working just fine. When TSC first came to this area in the late 90's, they sold TISCO parts, King Kutter implements, and many parts like moldboards, shares, shins, tires, distributors, and more. Now they sell a brand called County Line which is mostly Cheena made parts, don't carry any implements, only pet food, mowers, and snow blowers, and are just a big hardware store now. I avoid them at all costs now. Trying to buy basic simple stuff like nuts and bolts was a waste of time since they don't carry them and of they do, charge beau-coup bucks for them.
