Need a key for B12 if you have one lying around. Local stealers want a fortune for one. TIA ------------- Insanity is relative. All of my relatives are crazy! |

May take a bit of time, but you may want to take the ignition switch out, and take to local locksmith. They can cut a key to fit quite easily. Was fairly reasonable. I had to do that with my B-112. I believe a lot of these older tractors still had a regular ignition key, not the Indak that many garden tractors, and full size tractors went to. |

Maybe you could make some copies and sell them then. I know I could use 1 for my B110. Key is broken off inside the switch but still works using my thumbnail to turn off/on. Decided not to mess with it unless I found another switch or at least another key before I try to dig the broken piece out. ------------- "My name is Lionel and I'm an Allisoholic" |

you can buy B&S keys( aka Indak) from any small engine shop or online in qtys of 1, 10 or 50....I have a drawer full of them from 'dead riders'.Now IF it's 'special', please post a picture or link.....but all B&S keys/Indak are the same as far as I know.

| Push button start tractors used a cut B&S key, which would fit early B-110, and all of the round hoods. Anything newer than that would use the indak key. |

Years ago, Briggs and Stratton was in the business of supplying the automotive industry with "lock and cylinders." There are all kinds of B&S key's out there for antique vehicles. Dad's 1976 boat has a B&S key very similar to the one on my AC Homesteader 8 and early B-Series. ------------- 10 various B-series garden tractors, AC Homesteader8, 416 hydro,710 gt, 914, 916H, 917H, 920D, and many misc attachments |
