What if I lose my key?
Don’t panic, most riding lawnmowers use the same key. Just remember to buy a big bunch of keys from your local hardware store. If you have more than one riding lawnmower then a single key can be used to start all of them.
Luckily, losing the key to your riding lawnmower is not nearly as bad as losing the keys to your car or bike. You will still be able to mow the grass the next day because most riding lawnmower keys are universal. There are many more places than the dealership to get a replacement key.
Universal keys are not just used for riding lawnmowers, alone, but they have multiple uses. Most busy institutions are not willing to let their staff members carry bulky bunches of keys around. To restrict access based on a staff member’s duties and responsibilities, within the office, they provide them with a universal key, which will allow for different levels of restricted entry.
Will a universal key work for a John Deere 855 tractor?
No, a universal key will not fit the John Deere 855 series tractor.
Will a universal key fit 2050 John Deere tractor?
No, a universal key will only fit riding lawnmowers, not tractors.
Does a universal key work for ATV?
No, the Arnold universal ignition key design and intended purpose is to fit riding lawnmowers only. ATVs and their ignition keys vary greatly. So, the Arnold universal ignition key will most likely not work with your ATV’s ignition system.
What if a universal key does not start my riding lawnmower?
First of all, don’t force the universal key. If your key inserts but does not turn and your lock has not been used for a very long period of time you must apply some penetrating fluid to your lock and wriggle your key from one side to the other. This will help you ignite your riding lawnmower.
Which manufacturers produce a lock that opens up using a universal key?
A universal key opens up locks by the following manufacturers: Castel Garden, Cub Cadet, Contax, Ford, Husquvarna, Honda, Indak, John Deere, Jacobsen, Kubota, Lawnflite, Lincoln, MTD, Mahindra, Murray, Mountfield, Oregon, Polaris, Stens, Snapper, Skytrak, Sears, Scat Trak, Scag, Sabre Scott, Toro, Tafe, Vermeer and West wood. You can find lawn mower keys here.
Which brands of riding lawnmowers share a universal key?

Which models share a single universal key?
All L models share a single universal key and all Zero-turn ZD/ZG riding lawn mowers share a single universal key. Most of the B series except for the B26 use the same universal key. A key for B2400 can also start L5740. G2160 and BX2230 share the same universal key as the RTV 900s, the newer B series have a different key than the old Bs and the very old ones use another. Most of the Ls models share the same universal key. The RTV-1100 ignition and cab keys belong to the M series and the cab keys are the exact same one that is used on most RV compartment doors (CH751). Some of the upper-end Kubota blank keys used on the heavy equipment but the tumbler pin profile is different so that is why some can be cut and do not use just a stamped key. Indak keys are used on around half the riding lawn mowers with the rest usually being a Delta ignition switch. Kubota F2680E, BX25, F2880, and RTV1140 all use the same universal key. L5030 key works on all B series. You can find lawn mower keys here.
