Craftsman Tiller 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.
