DK50hst Won't Start

Talk to dealer they said it's more then likely the Switch. Sounds pretty common like you all were saying. He said i can bring it up and they will do it on the spot only take like 10 mins that i could just wait on it. So i'm considering just doing it myself rather then a total of an hour and half drive time plus diesel fuel and wear and tear on my new 7.3L motor rebuild up and down the hills. Sounds like my buddy and i can handle it. If it's not that they said just bring switch back and tractor and they can figure it out. Was like 75-100 bucks for them so come out and service it at my place. All covered under warranty though.

Thanks all for the help. Let you all know how it goes this weekend.

The switch is about $50, I think. Pretty easy to replace bu removing the lower right panel (below instr panel) bur it'll take more than 10 minutes (maybe an hour) if you haven't been inside that area before.

My 2005 CK30HST ignition switch took a dump at relatively low hours yielding a no crank situation. The best I could tell when I disassembled bad switch and yanked it apart was the funky grease they used in manufacture cooked in a way that appeared to prevent electricity passing- it looked to be an excellent insulator goo! Piece of cake to change switch.
