light switch

[Todd]

on a 60 does it have a 3 or 4 position switch, and does it have a one or two prong starter switch

Todd, I believe you would have a 3 position light switch and a 2 pole ignition switch unless modifications were made.

cool thank you, I would love to have an original wiring harness if anyone has one

[Bigdog]

Finding a NOS original might be difficult. As DavidC mentioned, OEM makes a faithful reproduction which will look original.

C&G lists it, part 371032R91 for about $65. It would be plastic wrapped. I don't know how the original was, probably the same. The original light switch had 4 positions (O D B R).

Despite aruguments by the other owner, I found that buying the 'factory' wiring harness worth the money. I did get the wrong one the first time, but the second one is a thing of beauty. (I was working without the manual at the time and had traced every wire down and drew a diagram before I took anything off. )
The harness for my 71 was $50 or so from C&G ($20 less than the wrong one).

As for the light switch... does it look like this??

I ended up buying a new one for about $30 from a Cub Cadet dealer, the pen is pointing at the hot lead (or what should be the hot lead). Could explain why I had a hard time wringing out the switch!

Jim knows his stuff and I am sure he gave you the correct number...

I found the best wiring diagram to be in the operators manual ($27 from C&G)

There are a couple of advantages to buying it over fabricating it..... wire size and colors are CORRECT. Also the connectors are correct. May not sound like a big deal, but I can tell you it is nearly impossible to find good quality terminals that are right for the application (look at any homemade wires on a regulator for a perfect example.)

I am pretty particular about wiring after doing battle with several poorly wired trailers.... I even carry a butane soldering iron in the truck.

The best reason is you probably never have to troubleshoot wiring problem or have one quit because of a bad connection. (ask my friend about his wife's M.... and they are both electricians!)

When I bought the tractor it was converted to 12vlt and everything was gone. So I need everthing. The guy did include the generator so thats good.

Do I need the one or two prong on off switch?

one prong for magneto ignition, 2 prong for distributor or converted magneto.
