My rectifier on Kubota died few years ago. Since money was very short, I would charge the battery every few month instead, the diesel does not need much of electrical power.
It worked quite well actually, the clue to charge the battery again was when the starter would not turn over warm tractor - like in the middle of grass cutting.
Anyway, replaced the rectifier with new one from ebay, the hardest part was to get to it but it charges again with beautiful 13.5V on battery while idling.
Interesting side effect is that the Kubota now shuts down with the electrical key - as far as I remember it was always necessary to pull the fuel cut off to kill it, but ever since the new rectifier the key will turn it off.
