'51 M On/Off Switch

Posted by marlinm51 on August 23, 2005 at 04:06:10 from (63.252.188.93):

I've been having some problems getting my M to start. Replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, condenser, coil. Last night the alternator wouldn't charge so I started checking voltages and found that I have +12v on the hot terminal of the switch and +7.5v at the switched terminal (must be a lot of resistance in there). No wonder I didn't have much spark with a 12 volt coil. I looked in the OEM Tractor Parts catalog for a switch and they were asking $51. What's so special about this switch? Anyone have an alternative? Thanks for the help.
