Barras shire start key.

[David J Smith]

Hi all. I've given up messaging Barras Shire about buying a spare key for the engine. They just don't answer my messages. So. does anyone know where I can get a key from? I don't want to buy the complete setup. ie new barrel etc. Surely it can't be that hard? I have attached a picture of my dash, along with my key. Thanks in advance guys. David

Hi David. I tried three key-cutting shops in Banbury. None could do it. Even tried the one that has a shop in Tescos. Sorry, can't remember their name. I was wondering if I could get one from an agricultural merchant. Coz it's a Yanmar engine. (I think). The same engine that is in a lot of mini diggers. Am I correct?

There were three duplicate topics. I've hidden two of them, after @David Mack kindly reported it to the moderators.

You'll probably find a screwdriver blade, or a bit of wire, or half the other keys on your key ring will work. Otherwise start watching the LockPickingLawyer's YouTube channel for tips!

There is a guy on ebay that does something like 50 different plant keys for a 'few pounds' he reckons they will fit 99.99% of all known plant., however - no plant I'm aware of has a 'instrument panel' anything like a boat. I reckon the boat panels have been built by the mariniser using whatever components they wanted.

Don't think so - the Amazon key looks symetrical, the Boat key doesn't (bu maybe its the angle)

The OPs key has a rib pressed into the blank ........would need to see both sides to duplicate it,but no hardware store is going to have a blank like that ........a locksmith would have one for sure ,but at what price?........I have every key switch to fit the old style Caterpillar key .....basically just a Y shape with two prongs fit the lock...........fit everything from a 1920s Harley Davidson to a D9H............yet no scrote would know what it was.

I bet the ones who want a D9 will know what it is.

I got a few spares for our Beta from a chap on eBay, all worked spot on, might be worth dropping him a message

Hi 

I have the same barrus panel as you and I got replacement keys from here, 

You should have a number stamped on the key to identify it 

Hope it helps
