Product Overview
Years of key wear can leave a tractor with vague detents, unreliable heating, or no starter signal even though the battery is charged. Before replacing the switch, test the starter relay, neutral circuit, wiring, and cold-start equipment.
The switch controls keyed electrical power and the start and heat functions provided by the original tractor circuit. The terminal layout is more important than the outside appearance.
Match 1874535M3, the rear terminal count and markings, bezel, key positions, model, serial number, and any production split. Photograph the old wiring before moving a single lead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this fix a tractor that will not crank? A: Only when voltage testing shows the switch is not sending the start command.
Q: Does it fit every Massey Ferguson 240? A: No. Production date and wiring variations require part-number and terminal verification.
Q: What is the heat position for? A: On equipped diesel tractors it powers the original cold-start or thermostart circuit.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
