Why is this? Same ignition key for all L models.

Terry,
I was talking to my dealer the other day and he said all b series keys were the same. Sure enough they are. My key from my b7500 worked in my b2630. One thing he did point out to me on my 2630 is the starter has a removable fuse. I dont know if its for theft but if my tractor is somewhere else its a little better feeling i know i can remove it.

This is not just a Kubota thing. Both my JD's use the same key, and I still have a pair of Cat keys somewhere from when I worked for a dealer that allowed me to start just about any piece of equipment on the lot.

I wanted a spare key for y B2400, so took the key to the dealer so he could cut a new one, he just yanked one offf the shelf, they are all the same. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

My Bolens key will fit
both my bolens tractors
My powerkraft

I have a car key that works perfect in both my car and the back door to the house.

Rat,

I don't know about that, however you may be right. The key is very inticate and the ignition "plug" doesn't look easy to just force a screwdriver in....there's a fair bit of metal.

If somebody wants to steal it they will, but this key will make some difference IMO. Yes, it will definitely help deter the kid or fool trying to take it for a joy ride.

Rogue,

Not sure if you intended to make us laugh, but I'm laughing. That's geat and so true in most mass produced products.

There is a balance though for companies. Kubota has done a great job balancing quality and efficiency. They make great tractors....and the things that really matter are pretty heavy duty. I'm more than pleased with what you get for your money.

I think I came to this conclusion about two years ago. It is a bit liberating once you realize the truth. I no longer seek the "Best" of everything anymore. I look for reasonable value and assume it's all so so quality. I've also decided that anything bought from Sears is best bought with the extended warrantee. What a racket.. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Yeah, I'd bet 1/6 of my posts are meant to be funny. Those are usually the once that stir a ruckas. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Have a good weekend all!
