IH taillight /worklight rotary switch problem

Posted by EddyJ on December 10, 2004 at 17:19:32 from (64.200.84.69):

I purchased a nice combination taillight?worklight for my SW4 tractor. Unfortunatly the rotary switch was frozen and I had to remove it. The mounting nut was frozen and I had to carefully cut it , I figured this was easy to replace(WRONG!!)Its special 30 threads per inch .365 diameter. Been everywhere looking for it electrical supply/hardware you name it. I also have a small machine shop and both my lathes wont cut a 30 tpi thread. If I had a 1930 vintage Southbend it would,This says alot for the older machines. Does anyone have or know where I might be able to get a nut. A new switch from OEM is $26.00 and he doesn't sell the nuts.Dont care used or new.
Trying to stay under budget on this restoration.

Thanks
Ed
