| | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 23 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 23 | I have a 61 Apache with no key. The ignition works fine but I can't lock it. I'd like to change the tumbler. Will it come out without the key? If so, is there a number on the tumbler that will allow me to get a key made (if I can find anyone who remembers how) or do I need to replace it? Any help is greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 | I know the tumbler on my door lock had a number and I had a key made ...the ignition must have one too???

As stated above, the door locks do. If the door and ignition locks are original, they will be keyed the same. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 327 | | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 4 | You cannot remove the cylinder without the key. This being said, you have to buy a new ignition switch. Napa has a package you can order online and it includes both parts for about $25. I just had to replace mine as I bought it with no key. Come to think of it, if you have an extra lawn tractor hanging around, that ingition switch will work as a temp fix. Again this is what I did until my parts came in. Good luck. | | |
