Starter Ignition Switch with 2 Keys for John Deere AM32318 - Fits Models 110 112 120 140 200 208 210 212 214 216 300 312 316 400-1 Year Support

What It Is

This is a replacement starter ignition switch with two keys, designed for older John Deere lawn and garden tractors. It controls the starting circuit and electrical power for models like the 110, 112, 120, 140, and others in the 200, 300, and 400 series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your tractor’s model and serial number. This switch is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part AM32318. It fits John Deere models: 110, 112, 120, 140, 200, 208, 210, 212, 214, 216, 300, 312, 316, 400. No deck size or engine brand matters—only the switch mount hole diameter (about 1.06 inches) and terminal configuration. If your original switch has a different shape or connector count (e.g., 3 vs 5 terminals), it won’t work. Measure your old switch’s body length and thread diameter to confirm.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: The 2.5/5 rating suggests common issues like loose terminals, poor key fit, or early failure. Inspect the switch body for cracks or burrs before installing.
• Installation difficulty: Easy for DIY—disconnect battery, remove old switch (usually a nut and wire connectors), install new one, reconnect wires. Label wires if needed.
• Common gotchas: The key may not match your original—keep both sets separate. Some users report the switch fails to fully engage the starter or causes intermittent power loss. Test with a multimeter before final assembly.
• No support: The “1 Year Support” claim may be vague—check the seller’s return policy for defects.

Should You Buy It

Only buy this if you need a low-cost, quick fix for an older John Deere tractor and you’re comfortable with potential quality issues. For a more reliable replacement, consider OEM or a higher-rated aftermarket switch. If your tractor is in frequent use, spend a few dollars more for a better-reviewed option.
