Hey team thanks for all your advice on my problem back in January. Turns out it wasn't any of the suggestions below
Instead it was my key switch. I know this because it has continued to degrade over the past two months to the point I now must replace it.
My follow up question to you is - how does this switch come out? I thought I can unscrew the band on the front and just push it out but with the band removed it won't budge. I can't find any videos on how to replace this key switch so thought I would ask the experts what the trick is to replacing. I am hoping I dont have to remove the fairing to get this done.
Any help or suggestions are welcome.

This was a new one for me. I was grading our road like usual, engine at full temp and about 20 minutes into grading the tractor suddenly dies. Like somebody flipped an on/off switch. The entire dash when dark. Then 3-4 seconds later, the dash lit up again. I cranked the engine and it started right up. Drove it home and looked it over but don't see anything. Drove it for another 20 minutes with no issues.
Seems like something electrical tripped, shorted or lost connection. Any ideas what to look for?
Thank you!
