well you'll have to post WHICH tractor you have. Can't offer what is causing the problem until I have a look at the wiring diagram.
Obvious things are 'user upgrades ' to electrical, vermin chewing wires, loose connectors, bad battery cables, corroded wires, gimpy switches(seat,PTO, PBrake, ?? )

Your profile says 1998 Kubota, but nothing else.

If you told us what Kubota you're working with, it would be helpful.

Is it a tractor, excavator, UTV, skid steer?????

What model?

Starts but doesn't run - - does it shut down when releasing the key?

Sounds like there might be some crud in the fuel tank. Check the fuel line from the tank to the filter to see if you have full flow.

With limited information I'd guess air in the fuel line somewhere or fuel line obstruction.

Guessing that is the type of run/stop solenoid that needs power to let tractor run. Getting that power from the key switch in the start position so it starts. Release key to run position and power is cut to solenoid and tractor dies.

I recall reading about the solution in this forum but no recall on the solution.
