Also do you do IHC Keys? I have a '75 200 4x4 truck that I purchased w/o keys and I'd love to have a set to work the doors.

I'm pretty confident he could. My '80 IH Scout has the doors matching the ignition matching all off one identical "RA-4" key as used in the Eagles.

The end of your lock cylinder will have a different push or pull piece attached, but the tumblers and endcap will be the same as an Eagle and that's all he needs to disturb to rekey them.

To Zoro:  No that Eagle lock is not too far gone; it can easily be fixed.     About your Corn Binder key, I'm definitely not an Int'l expert, but it sounds like its the same thing.   Worth a try maybe.

To The Capt:  I also have some of my fleet that seem to have mixed and matched the RA-3 and RA-4 to whatever lock is there; so I'm betting that wouldn't be a problem.   And yes; you can read the door key code and then change the ign to match ( or vice-versa).
