Im sure you can get them from the dealer, for a price LOL - In most cases there are just a few different keys that fit all machines... Ask nicely next time you are buying a case of something and they may even give you a key.
Good luck..

There are very few different keys used to fit all New Holland and Ford Tractors. For instance when I need one for my 2120 or TN I just say give me a TN key. It also fits many other NH machines.
There is no security in tractor keys. Every mechanic has a full set to fit all machines. (and it's only a small key ring)

I thought I might need an extra key for my TC33D, and a friend stopped off at the NH dealer and brought me two extra keys. It would seem that they are identical for that tractor and year model.

Probably for that entire model and many others all years.

Mine came with (2) "Blue emblem" keys and then (1) steel key. Looking at the key there doesn't seem to be anything that would be specific to a certain tractor.

As the others have said.. within a size range.. there aren't to many keys. The 'lucas' key for my 1975 ford 5000 is IDENTICAL to the FNH key to my 2002 7610s.

what do you guys call keys?
the one for my tractor is a flat blade with a point on the end, and ONE notch at the hilt to keep it from falling out of the key cylinder.
any flat head screwdriver works as a key in my tractor.
I was keeping the key at home untill i left it there once and was very upset with myself for doing so as its an hr one way.... when i thought about it and used a screwdriver the entire weekend.... sence then it seems silly to go to such "trouble"....
(any small key will work in mine.... i happen to try the desk key to my cube that i keep on my keychain and it worked fine.... (before i tried the screwdriver) )
