John T made a remark about grounding that jumped out at me. That 4-position switch needs to be grounded through its body, i.e., where it mounts to the front of the panel and then the panel to the frame, through the box itself.
Have you painted the tractor? If so, did you paint it so thoroughly that you wound up with a poor ground for the switch? With everything mounted in place, a quick test with an ohmmeter between the male thread of the switch where it pokes out the front of the panel and a known good ground or the grounded post of your battery should show little to no resistance. Places where paint might interfere are: between the switch body and the panel/face, between the panel and the box, between the box and the stud that holds it to the steering support, and the two long screws that hold the panel/face to the box.
One of those devilish little things you could chase circles around for days.
