I have a skid steer with a Kubota engine and I think Kubota electrics/(ignition switch anyway). For the last couple of months the starter hasn't always wanted to engage. It will click most times but not turn over. Now the headlights, fuel gauge and charging/oil pressure lights don't work with the key in the on position. Could it be a bad ignition switch? I think I've read where some Kubota's have weird starting problems.
I had the alternator changed to a 2 wire with internal reg. about a year ago by an experienced auto electric shop. The charging light would be on when it was started but go out after it was revved up which wasn't a problem. The hour meter used to only work when the alternator was turning but with the new alternator, I had to wire the hour meter to an extra lead on the ignition switch. It runs when the key is turned on but is still nice to have an idea of hours for maintenance. I never checked if the hour meter was ticking but suspect it wasn't because none of the other electrics worked. Any advice is appreciated.
