I have a 1990 L2850 DT and my key switch seems to be a hit or miss on getting the tractor started. It may or may not be the issue, but it is a problem since it is sloppy and I only have one key.
Does anyone have a recommendation for where to get a new one? My local deal has much to be desired and I would like to avoid the hassle that always comes from dealing with them.

When you call, let them decide which part number you need. The above is just to give you an idea of the $
.
You are going to find out that tractors do not have unique keys unlike a car or truck.

One key will fit many tractors.
