Replacement Key for Cub Cadet XT1 ZT1 LT LTX Troy Bilt Lawn Mower Craftsman MTD Riding Mower Replace 625-05000 625-05002 925-2054A 925-1745A, 2-Pack

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of replacement ignition keys designed for select Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and MTD riding mowers. They replace OEM part numbers 625-05000, 625-05002, 925-2054A, and 925-1745A. Use them when your original key is lost, broken, or you need a spare for multiple operators.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model number (not just the brand) and check your current key’s shape. These keys fit many Cub Cadet XT1, ZT1, LT, and LTX series, plus Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and MTD riders with the same key profile. They won’t work with all models—confirm your mower uses one of the listed OEM part numbers. Measure the key’s blade length and width if unsure; these are standard flat-blade keys, not newer electronic or chipped keys. Avoid assuming fit based on brand alone—some models use different key patterns even within the same brand.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket keys match OEM specs and feel solid. No reported fit issues if compatibility is confirmed.
• Installation: Zero difficulty—just insert into the ignition switch. No tools or modifications needed.
• Common gotcha: These keys are metal with a plastic head. They’re not weatherproof; keep them dry to prevent corrosion.
• Spare value: The 2-pack is cheaper than a single OEM key. Keep one at home and one with the mower.

Should You Buy It

If your Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, or MTD riding mower uses one of the listed OEM keys, this is a no-brainer. It’s cheap, highly rated, and gives you a backup for less than the cost of a single dealer key. Skip it only if your mower uses a different key profile or an electronic ignition system.
