Originally posted by Geodude you mean a key to a mower will also work on a tractor?
I don’t know about lawn and garden equipment, but all construction equipment is the same.
This is true for all off road construction equipment, Deere, Caterpillar, Case, etc. I learned about it when I was a mechanic at the electric utility. When they bought backhoes, excavators, bulldozers it was done on a public works contract, and whichever company won the bid supplied the equipment. It would all show up ove a day or two, then we would outfit the machinery. Each mechanic would grab a key and put it on a ring with other work related keys. If you got sent into the field to do repairs, you didn’t have to stop by the keyboard for a key like you did with the utility trucks.
