Built for Classic Farm Work
The TEF20 was one of those dependable workhorses that handled everything from row-crop work to general farming duties back in its heyday. Whether you’re using yours for parade duty, vintage tractor shows, or it’s still earning its keep around the farm, having reliable ignition is essential for safe operation, especially during those early morning starts.
Made to Last
This replacement switch is built to handle the vibration, temperature swings, and electrical loads that come with vintage tractor operation, with contacts designed to carry the full electrical load without burning out. Farm ignition switches live a hard life—constantly twisted by work gloves, exposed to dust and moisture—but this one uses heavy-duty internal contacts that won’t pit or burn like cheaper switches.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward—the switch mounts in the original location and uses the existing wiring connections, though it’s worth checking the wiring connections for corrosion while you’ve got things apart. Before installation, disconnect the battery to prevent shorts and label each wire before removal—even if the old switch is dead, wire position tells you where things go. Test all positions after installation—OFF should kill everything, RUN should power gauges and engine, START should engage the starter.
