Just off the top of my forgetful head, the series 2 has a points ignition,so you need power to the coil during cranking and running and no power to stop
the engine.
looking up the 2182, it says it gotts a ka bow tee 3 cyl gas 'ingin.
so it is possibly a non points ignition???
that would require a ground terminal to stop it, thus the extra switch terminal.
I would guess that switch is not going to do what you want.
Now if your curious you could look up the wiring diagram for both and follow it to see if there is continuity in the various positions that you need, but I doubt it
the 782 has off,on with lights, on, and start positions.
prolly best to suck it up and buy the correct switch.
Now be warned, there a ppl selling switches that they say will cross reference
and work but they don't.BTDT buy the right switch by part number.
Story time:
Some years back I decided I was going to make a switch from multiple switch parts in my junk pile that would kill the mag ignition on a M-18 without using a relay in my 782,
and retain the factory positions with lights as I mentioned earlier.
Well it took me a day but i did it and it is still working 10 years later.
but that is me and my OCD determination. Ha,LOL
Go to cub cadet or partstree and look up the correct switch number you need.
