Jack D. L. said: (quoted from post at 17:14:58 12/30/09) Hi!
We have a 1956 Farmall 200 with a keyed ignition. However, it did not come with keys. Can anyone suggest a replacement for this ignition? We have yet to find the fuse. The push-pull is in the fuse's spot. The keyed ignition is in the push-pull spot. Also, what kind of IH Red paint have people found to be the most authentic? I would like to use a spray can on the engine parts.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jack
Jack:
If you want to be authentic, as you indicate by your search for red paint, then get rid of the key switch and just use the push-pull. I doubt if you even have a fuse now, so you can move the push-pull back to where is is supposed to be and use the correct space for a fuse socket again. It appears the push-pull is being by-passed now, by the fact both wires are on one post. For the push-pull ignition switch to work, one wire should be on each of the two posts.
If you want to keep a key switch, then your local NAPA store will have a generic brand that will work fine. Or, as the others have said, you can go to case/IH for one.
Unless you keep your tractor outside and have "punks" in your neighborhood, it would be very simple and logical to put the wiring back like it belongs. You can look in the back of an OEM tractor catalog at a super C wiring diagram, or you can go on the Case/IH website and look it up for a Farmall 200.
