You can likely fish the broken key out. Picks, paper clips, tweezers, and the like can be used. A replacement key can likely be found, too. Few, if any tractor mfr's. used different keys in each switch for a particular model of tractor. A google search could locate the part(s) you need.
Aftermarket switches are probaby available that would easily replace your switch. Sometimes an aftermarket switch will be the exact same switch an OE will sell you, in a less fancy wrapper.
