I did a g 5100 sears Worked out great. They only used the smart switch a couple of years. I did some research and took the next year model after they stopped using the smart switch and used that models wiring harness and all the safety switches except the reverse switch Ordered the harness thru Husqvarna. The safety switches looked the same but had different part numbers. It only cost less than 150.00 and took about 2 hours.

                         Converting from smart switch to key switch

To convert a craftsman G5100  917204010 to a key switch use wiring harness #501132901 from a 917204080  less than 40 dollars including shipping from Husqvarna and switch #532193350 less than 15 dollars off ebay. All plugs hook up but the brake safety switch appears not to, it will hook up. This plug looks a little different it doesn’t have the  little dog on it for the clip that holds it from coming unhooked.

Also use body harness 194276 paid about 22 dollars including shipping. Also use pto switch 582107601 it cost 10 bucks ( the pto switches have the same markings on them but the books have different part numbers) Like wise the seat switches show different numbers I used 401545 about 15 dollars. I didn’t have all the parts when I started but this should only take about 2 hours to convert All safety's work only thing doesn't  doesn't work is I don't have a switch for the headlights.
