85 big red neutral switch

From a previous post: I discovered that my neutral switch is open and I was wondering if my suspicions are correct, i.e., neutral and reverse switches look identical. Anyone know if that is true? I can't find part numbers on web yet to compare but they look the same and perform basically the same function except that reverse switch doesn't prevent starting. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

Yes Ron, they look exactly the same. They just screw into the crankcase, i think they have a 12mm head and they are underneath that little cover that is held in place by the 8mm bolt.

Thanks again Matt. I suspected as much Depending on the price for a replacement I may just swap them out until I can afford a new switch.
