925-06119C 725-04227 Ignition Switch Module with Key for Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 LT46 LT50 XT2 LT42 LT46 LT1042 LT1045 LT1046 LTX1040 Craftsman T1000 T1200 T1400 T1600 Riding Mowers

What It Is

This is a direct-replacement ignition switch module with two keys, designed to start and power the electrical system on select Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, and Craftsman T1000–T1600 riding mowers. It combines the key cylinder, electrical switch, and wiring harness into one pre-assembled unit.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (e.g., XT1 LT42, LT1042, T1200) and check that your deck size matches the listed models—this module fits 42”, 46”, and 50” decks on those chassis. It’s an aftermarket part that replaces OEM Cub Cadet part numbers 925-06119C and 725-04227. Measure the mounting hole diameter (typically 1.18”) and verify the wiring connector matches your harness (usually a 5- or 6-pin flat plug). If your mower has a different connector or key orientation, this won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Solid build with metal key cylinder and weather-resistant housing. Users report it lasts longer than some OEM units.
• Installation: Easy—disconnect battery, unplug old module, remove retaining nut, swap in new one, and reconnect. No wiring splicing needed.
• Gotchas: The keys are generic and may not match your existing keyed deck or accessories. Also, if your mower has a safety interlock system, verify the module includes the correct wiring for that circuit (most do).
• Fitment: Double-check your mower’s model year—older XT1 or Craftsman variants may use a different module shape or connector.

Should You Buy It

If your Cub Cadet or Craftsman riding mower’s ignition switch is worn, sticky, or dead, this is a reliable, budget-friendly drop-in replacement. It’s best for DIY owners who want a quick fix without dealer visits—just confirm your model and connector type first.
