        Seems as though the ignition switch on my Jinma 254 is acting up.  Will not energize the glow plugs when screwed to the dash board, but does so fine when I pull it out.  Problem seems repeatable and I looked for any interference behind the dash when switch is in place, none seen.  Is this the way they normally go bad?  I see the Ford switch is the suggested replacement, but I am contemplating using separate switches for each function, purchased at my local marine supply store.  Any thoughts?

          Your marine store probably stocks the Cole-Hersee key switch equivalent which is much better quality than the Ford switch anyway.

            I think a marine grade switch is a good idea and moreso if the tractor stays outside out of a covered roof.
