rydogg 186 #2 Posted June 30, 2012 They are not rare nor are they wheel horse only keys these were also used by massey ferguson for their tractors go to ebay and do a search using the following words massey to20 key and you will find several sets for around $4 you can still get the ignition switch also. This key was used on many wheel horses my 701 653 753 702 have them and I am sure there are some other models that used them. These can also be found by searching for the following part number 180292M1 Another key that was used later was made by cole hersee also... it was nicknamed the snoopy ear key these can easily be found on ebay just by searching cole hersee key or part number 83353, wheelhorse did not make their own keys in the early years they used what was available. The later keys with the square wheel horse logo on the end shoud still be availble I will do some checking, these are a universal key with some wheel horse bling so if you just need a key to replace the one with the black wh logo you can go to most hardware or small engine shops and get a universal key.

Kelly 1,030 #3 Posted June 30, 2012 As said above the split key was used on a few tractors for a few years, you can get the ign. switch new still but it does not fit the hole in the dash, as for the new logo key Glen makes a perfect repo he is a vendor here.
