725-04227 Ignition Switch with 2 Keys - Compatible with Cub Cadet XT1 XT2, TB30R TB46, Fit Craftsman T1200/T1600 - Replaces 925-06119, 925-04227, 725-06119, Delta 2030-016

What It Is

This is a replacement ignition switch assembly for select Cub Cadet and Craftsman lawn tractors. It includes two keys and replaces the original part when the existing switch fails to start, runs intermittently, or the key is lost.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (not just series name). This switch fits Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, TB30R, and TB46 models, plus Craftsman T1200 and T1600 tractors. It replaces OEM part numbers 925-06119, 925-04227, 725-06119, and Delta 2030-016.
Check the switch’s physical size and terminal layout against your old unit—this is a standard 3-position (Off/Run/Start) design with 5 or 6 spade terminals. Measure the mounting hole diameter (typically ~1.1") and verify the key slot orientation matches. Aftermarket part; not a genuine Cub Cadet/Craftsman OEM piece.

Key Things to Know

• Quality note: At 4.3 stars from 18 reviews, it’s decent but not premium. Some users report slightly looser key fit than OEM.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—disconnect battery, unplug old switch, remove retaining nut, swap, and reconnect. No wiring modification needed if terminals match.
• Common gotcha: Verify your mower uses a 3-position switch. Some models (e.g., with electric PTO) may require a 4-position or different terminal count.
• Key duplication: The two included keys are identical; no spare blank is provided.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly, direct-fit replacement for a failing ignition switch on a Cub Cadet XT1/XT2, TB30R/TB46, or Craftsman T1200/T1600, and you’re comfortable with a non-OEM part. It’s not for you if you want a heavy-duty OEM switch or need a different terminal configuration.
