My wife is a crime data analysis and works for the Sheriffs Office. She is seeing tractors getting stolen. She researched and says Kabota uses about 5 different keys for their tractors. Does anyone know of a ignition switch that could be substituted for for the one used on my B7800 diesel that would fill the requirements of glow plugs ect?

Might want to just tie in a hidden toggle switch into the seat switch. I ordered a couple of keys for my B7800 on Amazon for under $10.

A different key switch isn't going to stop a thief.
Best bet, Lock it up!
Pull the main fuse out of the harness. ;)

What's "safer"?

A hidden toggle switch that people would be searching for or a kill switch wired to a fake "Regen" switch located on the dash out right in plain view?
