Ignition Switch

[bretonlion]

I collect Ariens and Brott .. On my Ariens GT20 there is an old Ignition switch with the lugs numbered from 1 to 4 ..it is not a new box type ..
I would like to know what the numbers connect to as there is no wiring diagram for this ..
I have asked Ariens .. but it seems that my tractor is when they bought out New Holland and there is no listing ..
I have used a multi meter but as these tractors have loads of relays and cut outs .. it is hard to decipher ..
I just need .. a simple answer .. what is 1 to 4 wired up to ..
Thank you

Well it is not that simple. I wish it was. Switch have different internal configs depending which one it is. Got any numbers on the switch and possible manufacture? I only seen a handful of hardwired switches but never had a problem with them so never got into finding info on them.

These GT20 riders where made from 88 to 95.

Also if the GT20 has the six digit model number it might help in the research if you post it; otherwise, it is an educated guessing game.

Thanks for the reply .. As this and my other mowers .. I have over 20/30 were found "under hedges" I do not know if they are all original .. This GT20 has Model number 931034 .. Serial number 004282 ..

Someone has rewired the mower as it show a six terminal Indak switch was used. Here is a wiring diagram so you can try to get it back to the original setup. Keyswitch is PN 53123700 (Stens 430-954 or Rotary 11018) and you need a five position terminal housing (Aptiv 2973422) and six F56 (Aptiv 12033824) female terminals.
