Kubota B6000 Preheat Switch

[bamaboi8116]

So I started working on my tractor recently after buying a new preheat switch (not ignition/power) switch.....or so I thought. Was wanting all of the buttons, switches, and lights to be period correct or as right as it could be after buying the tractor so that I knew it was all functioning properly and looking correct also. Had some issues removing the glo plug preheat switch and ended up tearing it ALL the way up before finally removing it. At this point I opened the new OEM old stock switch that came only to realize what they sent me was a new OEM old stock headlight switch, not the switch I need. I'm wanting it to look and function properly, but I seem to be having trouble finding the period correct switch at a price well under the $150-$180 ones I've found. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What switch in this picture are you trying to replace?

Because there is no preheat switch.

On the B6000 it should be just like my L1500,
a single start / pre-heat switch, depending on position?

The screenshot I posted earlier was from www.tracpartz.com, while this one also has four terminals they do not list it for the B6000, nor do they have a listing for a B6000 starter switch, but it is considerably cheaper.

According to Messick's this should be the part number but it is discontinued...

Got it, bill pointed out that it's a start and Glow plug pre heat switch.
And no there is no cheap alternative to that switch.
