I have a Kubota L3000 purchased used (100 hours shown on the meter) appx 10 years ago. The starter ignition switch has always been an minor issue. I would turn the key to the left to warm the glow plugs then the right to start. Often it would take several turns to engage and start the engine.
Yesterday I did small chore with the tractor (started with normal 2 or 3 key turns). Then latter in the day I tried to start the engine again and it would not start. The ignition lights lit but would not engage the starter. The tractor now has 420 hours.
I had the battery checked and is at 90%. As the starter key switch has been problematic can I assume the starter key switch needs to be replace?
I appreciate your input.
