Keyed Ignition

[Russ Knight]

Where is the best place to source a good quality keyed ignition for the five ton? I bought one from Those Army Guys or whoever they are for a previously owned truck, and it was junk.

Assuming you want some added security features, if you can't find a good keyed ignition switch, perhaps look into installing a keyed battery disconnect.

I like the one from Big Mikes motor pool, it's cheap and easy to install.
True it's not going to stop a hardened thief, aside from a well hidden kill switch what would?
But it would likely deter a joy rider, a farm kid who knows how to start a tractor and can figure out my hi-lo manual...and possibly give me a few pointers...oy

I have no experience with these units so I can't speak for their quality but I do like the looks of them...

I bought one of these from federal military parts. One of the studs was loose. It worked (so far) but they won't even respond to my email questions about it. Paint chipped off easily. Guess I should have just installed a hidden disconnect. Won't be buying anything else from them. Simple issue but they don't seem to care.

Edit - FMP just reached out and said they would send a replacement.
