Intermittent dead ignition

[schneidvt]

my father has a la series kubota around 2009. He told me it wouldn’t start on a couple occasions but I blew it off as a seat or clutch switch. Well today it happened to me an best I can tell it’s probably a sticky ignition relay, (dash is dead, no power anywhere) 20 mins later starts up fine. My question, Is there a relay bank I can get to or is it all in the cpu?

Have you tried cleaning the ignition switch? You can try spraying some electrical contact cleaner into it and see if you get anything. I replaced the ignition switch on a 20 year old tractor (stored inside) that had intermittent hit or miss, never had anymore issues.

Thanks, I tried to test, but so far every time I do it’s working fine. I’ll look into it a bit more

Most common culprit is a bad chassis ground or battery connection.

Check your fuses.

Cleaned up the chassis at the ground and it started. Thanks, hopefully that was it, at least it’s at the barn now so if it acts up again I can work inside.
