If you’ve got one of those classic John Deere row-crop tractors from the ’50s and ’60s sitting in the shed, you know how frustrating it can be when the ignition switch starts acting up. Maybe you have to jiggle the key just right, or the lights don’t come on when they should. This combination ignition and light switch gets your 530, 630, or 730 back to reliable starting and proper lighting control, just like it was when it rolled off the line.

Built for Real Farm Work
These tractors were the workhorses of their era—the 530 and 630 handling row-crop work and general farming duties, while the 730 brought more muscle to bigger operations. Whether you’re using yours for planting, cultivation, or just moving equipment around the farm, having reliable ignition and lighting is essential for safe operation, especially during those early morning starts or late evening finishes.
Made to Last
This Tisco replacement switch is built to handle the vibration, temperature swings, and electrical loads that come with vintage tractor operation. The contacts are designed to carry both the ignition circuit and lighting loads without burning out, giving you years of dependable service.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—the switch mounts in the original location and uses the existing wiring connections. If your old switch has been giving you trouble for a while, it’s worth checking the wiring connections for corrosion while you’ve got things apart. A little dielectric grease on the terminals helps prevent future problems.
