[Tigers] ignition switch

[Rense, Mark (GE, Appl & Light)]

A word of warning here, the generators made for tractors are not the
same as the automotive generators, they are not made for the higher RPM.
The last one of these generators I saw that came from Tractor Supply was
made in China and the bearings were galled and useless in less than a
1000 miles. This was on a Comet GT, also a Ford 260. I strongly suggest
you find someone who can rebuild your old one if possible.

And people laugh when I mention Tractor Supply.   Eat your heart out if
you're not near one.  Common nuts, bolts and washers  for $1.49 lb.,
etc.

Viola!  Just happened to be near a Tractor Supply this morning and they
were able to identify it cross referencing the 5383A number that was on
my Carquest receipt from about 10 years ago.  Now just waiting  on
pricing and availability.....
