Columbia Ignition Controls

This is a genuine replacement ignition key that is manufactured by MTD for use in select models of outdoor power equipment. The ignition key is a plastic piece that is inserted into the ignition cylinder to start the machine. Turning the plastic key will signal to the engine to fire. This is a durable plastic piece, but it can become damaged or lost over time, which will render the machine unable to start. Replacing it will be necessary in order to operate the unit. This genuine OEM ignition key is manufactured to exact standards. It can be used in snowblowers and snow throwers from MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Yard-Man, and Husky. The durable plastic key is sold as an individual unit and does not require any tools for installation. This is a simple replacement that should only take a couple of minutes. In the event that the old key is damaged or stuck in the ignition, it may take more effort. It is important to disconnect the power supply for safety before performing any repairs, as well as to wear gloves for hand protection.

The ignition coil is a standard part of internal combustion engines on lawn and garden equipment. This coil consists of the ignition plug, plastic housing, and metal wires that include a flexible plastic casing. The coil is responsible for connecting the spark plug and transmitting the current that creates the spark that allows the engine to fire. This coil may develop wiring problems or the rubber and plastic parts may become worn and damaged over time. This will require a full replacement of the assembly. It is a good idea to inspect the coil when changing the spark plug as a part of routine maintenance, as well. This genuine OEM ignition coil is compatible with lawn and garden equipment from Troy-Bilt, MTD, Yard Machines, Yard Man, HUSKEE, and Cub Cadet. It can be used on more than 150 lawn and garden machines, including lawn mowers, log splitters, and chipper/shredder models. This coil assembly includes the ignition plug, metal wires encased in plastic, and a plastic housing. The hardware required to install this part is sold separately, as are all other components. Be sure to wear gloves and allow the engine to cool before working on the ignition or other components.
