I have a Kubota BX2200 with approx 260 hours on it. I noticed about 2-3 weeks ago that all the lights would stay on at all times (blinkers/hazard switches would not work--the lights were just steady on). My fuel gauge then seemed to act funny. Today, while the tractor was running, the lights all went off, fuel gauge went dead and the tractor would not shut off when the key was placed in the off position. I got the tractor to shut off by disconnecting the fuel line.

Now, the key switch does nothing when turned to the on and start position, no lights turn on, no turn over--nothing. I checked all the fuses and they are all fine, none blown. What should I do next? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If all the fuses are good and the battery has a good charge I would look at the switch itself. Could have a loose wire or might just be bad.

Check the voltage at your battery, if it is 12v then clean the battery cable ends. Clean both ends of each cable.
Your ignition switch probably is fine, a BX sends voltage to the shutoff via a timed relay to shut off engine. Once the engine is started you need no power at all except to shut it off.
