Only took a few days to get it, but I kept having other stuff pop up that had to be done RFN. Which led to the switch getting put somewhere I couldn't find it so delaying the repair further. When I finally found it, again, I dropped everything else to install it and finish the wiring job. And the crapstorm actually let me do it! I was SO surprised by that.
I have a stack of tuits chest high to the 50ft woman most of them are actually round, as in there is a little progress to many of them on a regular basis its the getting done part that slows everything down.
A good thing about mounting the new switch was I finally took the time to connect my electric booster fuel pump to it so any time the ign switch is on or more importantly off, so is the pump, instead of just jugging the wires together each time I started the machine. Forgetting to turn it on just meant it took longer to start because the diesel injection pump had to do all of the work. Forgetting to turn it off wasn't a problem if I was going to use the backhoe again soon, but leaving it sit there and stutter against the fuel stop for weeks on end would eventually drain the batteries
