Isn't there only one style? Or does the tractor line have different keys? I think I have about 10 cat keys, and about 4 or 5 master switch keys.

Hmm. I have 3 different styles. I'll have to get a shot of them and see what I'm missing.

Cat keys , with the exception of forklifts, use universal keys they made many differant styles of brass keys one that had the old C logo and one with a new pyramid logo , also made were keys with a plastic cover on the top with the pyramid logo and the newest style , the chain saw style shaped plastic piece with the pyramid logo,
the only other Cat key is the old style 2 prong key which is still used today only as a battery cut off switch , in older Cat machines the 2 prong keyt was mounted in the dash and you had to use that key aswell as push a button or turn a switch to start the machine , I believe Cat only used the 2 prong keys as a primary "ignition" key from the early 60's until 88 or 89 , I have them all I can post a pic of them maybe


Sorry I cant seem to get them small enough to upload
