ignition key

[unibody madness]

The ignition key to my T273 seems to have pulled a Houdini.
Anyone out there willing to scan a copy of their key and send it to me in an e-mail?
There are no dealers left out here in California and was hoping to file a replacement out of metal

I've never actually compared them but the generic key in the garden section at Home Depot looked a lot like my tractor key. I think most out of state dealers would sell you a replacement and mail it to you too.

could you post a pic or lay it on a printer fax and send it to me?

ok, so ace hardware can't help and home depot never heard of a generic tractor key....so if someone would be nice enough to measure the length and width of their key i should be able to make my owN

I made a spare by using a B64 key blank which I think is for a GM product. Any place that cuts keys should have one.

wish I had thought of that before my key went poof

Ok.... so after trial and error, and finding out my cub cadet key would start my TYM after jiggling it...I managed to make a few keys out of some steel stock I had laying around...Fast forward some three weeks and 150 miles away, and guess what shows up at the bottom of my washing machine...
You just knew that was going to happen.
