1. This J2020H Tractor I bought in 2013 is not a power house but does what I need on a sandy soil 30 acres.
2. First the problem began with turning the ignition key on and it wouldn't start.
3. One day out of frustration I turned the key on and off about four times and it started. I was able to use the tractor.
4. The next day when I turned the ignition key to START it started the engine but as soon as I let loose the key the engine shut off.
5. At this point I assumed it was a faulty ignition switch so I ordered and replaced the ignition switch with a new LS J2020H switch. Exact same switch.
6. The new switch didn't solve the problem. Still when I turn the key to START position it will start. If I keep the key in START position the engine continues to run. But as soon as I let go the key the engine shuts off. If I hold the key on START the engine continues to run.
