Looking for Jetstar key switch. No key start manual rod to starter solenoid 12 volt positive grd.
Current switch is 4 position off run headlights on work light on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I contacted dealer close by and said they dont make that switch any more said I would need hookup seperate switch for lights. The key switch was like 85 bucks and light switch was 75 bucks.

Check with Welters in Missouri and / or Steiner tractor parts ---they just had a big add in the new Prairie Gold Magazine and am sure they showed that switch. Another option would be a salvage yard --
 
Never took key switck a part. Do you have any pointers? Definitely would be the cheapest and a learning experience.
 
First what does the switch do or doesn't do. Switch has copper contacts which like to corrode once the original non conductive grease is gone or deteriorated. Moisture usually gets in. Find GOOD electronic contact cleaner which is getting tough to find. With spray nozzle start by applying through keyhole. Don't be afraid to fill it up several times and work key back and forth. If you can't get results drill a hole the size of nozzle and keep filling and draining. Last resort if previous doesn't work grind switch on bench grinder where metal lip holds ceramic. Hold in ceramic plate as is spring loaded as you grind. Keep grinding bit at time until ceramic is loose. Turn up so contacts up and key down. Do not pry hard on bakelite as it is easily broken. Try to ease off as springs/straps. will go everywhere. Manually clean and put everything back in position as bakelite has a notch. Seal with your choice or crimp edges if you can. Have done many and never ordered a switch.
 
Tractor would not start checked for spark no spark removed cap and rotor checked for spark at points no spark turned key back and forth few times then had spark at points put rotor and cap back on try to start no start checked for spark no spark removed cap and rotor no spark turned key off and on then had spark. Bypassed key switch and tractor started right up up and every time there after with key switch bypassed. Try starting with key and no start. Will try spraying inside key hole did try spraying wd 40 but had no luck.
Thank you for your help tractor is my hay tedding and raking tractor.
