The key came out!! I sprayed some cleaner in there and then used a small pick. It only took a few seconds. MUCH easier than i thought it would be---and cheaper, too!It will mostly likely NOT fall out.

Key broke!
The ignition key on my B7100HST broke off! Does anyone have an easy way to remove the part still in the key slot? A magnet does not work. I can still insert the outside piece to glo-plug and start her, but would prefer to use a new key. Thanks for any useful ideas.www.orangetractortalks.com
New to me B7100D

- Start date
I finally looked at the hour meter....2691.7 hours Is that a lot, or a little for a machine of this vintage?
I was considering a repaint to go along with all the mechanical refreshing, but with a little elbow grease, the original paint looks pretty good. There is something about the patina of original old paint.
OK, on to other threads!

Wow, that fender looks great!
Mine is a 1979 sold in 1980, and has 1453hrs, which I have always considered kind low for it's age.
So yours doesn't sound excessive.

I have a couple keys for mine, but one day the wife took the truck with my keys in it, so I went through my old key stash and found a trunk key from a '64 Impala that works like it was made for it.
(the bolt & standoffs are just for a little leverage when doing those long glows)
