That's what I was thinking..... I remember our old 71 used an IH key... For an IH ignition. All IH tractors used the same key. However, the replacement one that I found looks like it's just a indack key. Lew, is this correct?

Same problem here, got a 1050 doing it. I've "lost" it before and borrowed the 1330 key which worked with no problem.

What I've started doing is taking the key out of the ignition and putting the key ring through the lift lever button and hanging it there when I'm not using it.

I have 4 different type of keys the A,G,and indak keys,one version of the a key G is shaped like an Indak key.

Lew, the one on the very right side is a true IH key. It will start ANYTHING IH made.

For all who are interested. You can purchase that ignition that will use that key from IH. Order an ignition switch for a 1086 IH tractor. This ignition has the off/on/start positions. It will have 5 spades on the back. For most tractors, you will only need 3. Part #107682C1. Here is a link from OEM tractor parts for the switch with keys for $32. I don't know how much IH wants. If you only need an on/off switch, it is part #403562R2. It is for a 1066 IH tractor. It has 2 terminals on back and will use the original true IH key. Here is the link for it at OEM tractor parts, $21.50

I put that 1086 key switch in my 1250 because I hated having an IH with a cheapo key.

If the original poster has a key like the third one from the left in darkminion 17's post, then that is the wrong key.

I'd recommend the original poster to this thread apply some PBlaster to the keyhole. If there are any springs or tumblers like a real switch, maybe they will free-up and the thing might just hold his key. Just a thought.
