Craftsman Snow Removal Equipment Switch

The ignition switch is the part of lawn and garden equipment that features an ignition to turn on and off with a switch. These are common on lawn tractors, as well as some lawn mowers, wood chippers, tillers, and log splitters. While these switches tend to be robust, they may eventually wear out. Some might have a mechanical failure after being used for years. Others might have electrical issues. Regardless of the reason for the failure, they will need to be replaced to continue using the machine. This is a genuine OEM part that is sold individually. It is a complete kit, which will include not only the switch, but also a washer and nut to secure the switch into the housing, and two ignition keys. The ignition switch can work with lawn tractors from brands such as MTD, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard Machines, and Craftsman.

This on-off switch terminal is composed of electrical contact areas that connect to a charge or load on a battery. One is marked for positive current while the other is where the current returns to. These terminals can sometimes stop working or suffer corrosion which makes them dangerous to use. Brushing and cleaning a terminal can help remove dirt and debris, but a malfunctioning terminal requires a replacement. This is the case if the corrosion is severe enough to eat away at the metal or the terminal doesn’t clamp on the way that it should. The battery terminals can be removed and replaced using tools like pliers, a socket set, a wrench set, and a hacksaw. This terminal is a genuine OEM component directly from the manufacturer. It’s designed to be used on engines of snowblowers, lawnmowers, chipper shredders, and tillers. It is compatible with Tecumseh, Husqvarna, Toro, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Simplicity, Cub Cadet, Briggs & Stratton, and MTD equipment. Some items that can help with installation include anti-corrosion spray, felt pads, and heat-shrink tubing.

This replacement DP NO/NC switch is a genuine OEM part for a riding lawn mower engine. This switch provides an electrical current to subsequent wires while maintaining a self- contained breaker. The terms NO and NC stand for “normally open” and “normally closed”. As this switch features both terms, it means that this switch can be flipped to either setting by the operator; in this case, by engaging the brake pedal. If exposed to moisture or too high of a current, switches can easily fry and stop working. If the DP NO/NC switch dies, the pedal will not produce an effect and the riding lawn mower brake will not slow the vehicle down. This is obviously quite dangerous for the operator and it should be replaced immediately. Before attempting this repair, be sure to unplug the battery for safety reasons. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the fuel take and make note of how the wires are attached to the switch. Replace the switch and make sure to reattach the wiring correctly. This DP NO/NC switch is a high-quality part that is suitable for Snapper, Craftsman, and Murray lawn mowers. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and does not include any additional hardware.

This purchase includes a replacement ignition switch and key for use with lawn tractors. The ignition switch connects to an electric starter motor, which allows users to simply turn the key to get the machine started. It is one of the most important components of the tractor. Without a properly functioning ignition switch, the tractor will not start at all. The ignition switch could fail for a range of reasons. In some cases, it might be due to a mechanical or electrical issue that will require replacement. Other times, it could become damaged and no longer allow the key to fit properly. When there are issues with the ignition switch, owners should replace it immediately. This is a genuine OEM ignition switch and key replacement that is identical to the one that came in the machine. This kit includes the switch and its related components, along with the key. It can work with more than 150 different types of lawn tractors and small engines. Compatible brands include Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Murray, Snapper, MTD, and Simplicity.

This is a genuine replacement PTO switch designed for lawn tractors. The PTO switch is designed to engage and disengage the mower blades/deck. On some models, a secondary PTO switch may connect the power of the lawn tractor to pull-behind accessories, such as spreaders and snowblowers. Over time, the PTO switch will suffer from wear and tear. Repeated use may wear out the electrical contacts inside the switch, for instance. It is also possible for the switch to be damaged accidentally, or it may suffer from moisture build-up if the mower is left out or used in the rain. Replacing a failed PTO switch is simple, but may require a small, flathead screwdriver. The switch is held in place by two plastic arms. These must be depressed toward the body of the switch, and then the switch must be pulled outward from the control panel. Installing the new switch simply requires inserting it into the mounting location with the pins properly aligned and pressing in until the arms lock in place. This is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for Craftsman zero-turn mowers.
