Rattlecan 67 #1 Posted May 4 I got this in a grab bag of wheel horse parts. Does anyone know what it is? I am assuming it is some kind of switch. What is the giant flange for? Curiosity is killing me. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,787 #3 Posted May 4 That flange /switch is probable from a 1961 suburban 551 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rattlecan 67 #4 Posted May 4 I looked at some photos of that model and I believe you are correct. I would never have figured that out. Thanks again guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,387 #5 Posted May 4 Yup - looks like a 3 terminal early 1960's keyswitch in a 2" tank or dash hole plug. OR- someone mounted an ignition switch in the hole for the ON-OFF switch of a 552 tank dash plug.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rattlecan 67 #7 Posted May 4 As usual you guys have tons of info. I think I also have the old solenoid that goes with it in the box of Stuff, but no key. I do not know how to tell if it’s any good or if it’s trash can material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,072 #8 Posted May 4 Connect BAT terminal to battery + Ground the small terminal to battery - and the solenoid should close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
