I have a T1600 H that will start fine but die/kill as soon as you release the key. (I tried to search forum but had no luck)

I'm trying to find a source for a new ignition switch but have been unsuccessful. Any ideas? local Kubota dealer has none in stock & wants $125 to order one.

I have seen many listed on eBay for $25-60 but they don't list the T1600 in model listing.
Am I on the right path? does this sound like a bad ignition switch or is there something else I'm overlooking?
TIA for any help on this
