I purchased a nice combination taillight?worklight for my SW4 tractor. Unfortunatly the rotary switch was frozen and I had to remove it. The mounting nut was frozen and I had to carefully cut it , I figured this was easy to replace(WRONG!!)Its special 30 threads per inch .365 diameter. Been everywhere looking for it electrical supply/hardware you name it. I also have a small machine shop and both my lathes wont cut a 30 tpi thread. If I had a 1930 vintage Southbend it would,This says alot for the older machines. Does anyone have or know where I might be able to get a nut. A new switch from OEM is $26.00 and he doesn't sell the nuts.Dont care used or new.
Trying to stay under budget on this restoration.

Thanks
Ed

Ilost the nut off my light while apart repainting it. After some extensive hunting, I found that the nice gold knurled nut off a ceiling fan switch was a perfect fit. Jim

Well , I dont need a switch just the nut. its possible that the new switches from stiener and OEM tractor aren't the same threads either. Alot has changed in standardizing since 1940's.

Do you still need the nut? I have a junkbox of switches and such, and will take a look if you haven't found one yet. I wonder what the I.D. of the nut would measure?

Thanks for the offer .I may have a line on one or at least something close. If not I'm going to just pay the 26.00 to OEM I've probally wasted that in gasoline alone already.I sure would like to know where OEM gets these switches from. I cant believe they cost 26.00

Thanks ED
