So I've been trying to get my kubota l3300 and I've ran into even more issues. At first the key would turn the dash lights on and make something in the right side of the motor click, but the starter wouldn't engage. Now after jumping the starter the key switch won't even turn the dash lights on. The starter motor only clicked a few times but wouldn't completely engage and after a couple tries it stopped clicking entirely. Both the starter and the key switch is getting 12 volts so I'm kind of stuck. All the fuses are good so I'm thinking it could be a grounding issue that was exacerbated by trying to jump the starter. I'm worried I may have created more problems when I did jump the starter though. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You haven't mentioned that you checked (and cleaned) all four battery cable connections. The ground cable to tractor frame connection would be a prime suspect here.

I tried to look at the ground cable but at that point it was getting dark so I couldn't properly diagnose it. I blew the dust off and took the cable loose and brushed away what I could. I've ordered a new ground cable for it and am gonna get new bolts so that will be the first thing I check when I get back to it. I'm just trying to see what all it could be so when I get back to it I have a plan lol

Have you load tested the battery?
A bad battery can have 12V and still have bad internal connections.
