5212.5 switch

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the ignition switch, the existing aftermarket switch is wired up wrong. When my new switch arrives this week I want to make sure I wire it correctly

There are wiring diagrams for the 5200 series tractors in the 1990 Electrical Information Manual.

You can download a copy from the "Downloads" section of the site:

The wiring diagrams are listed by MFG#, not model (5212.5).

You really need to examine the new switch carefully as the spades on the rear of the switch may appear in the same location but may not be the same internally.  You would be amazed at how many look to be correct but will not work.

See my post on your coil problem.  I've still got my old 5 terminal switch if you need to know which wire goes where.
