I have a 1986 base model (wheelbarrow with an engine) Ranger. We use it for hauling rocks, the wife will pick up feed, that kind of thing. Anyhow, the other day, I was moving some stuff, stopped, turned off the key, it sputtered a little, then ran on. I clicked it back on, tried again, still running. I pushed the key lock button and removed the key, still running. Finally, I stalled it by holding the brake and releasing it in gear. Bad news was that the thing still thought it was on - dead battery. Since I have recharged the battery, and run it a few times. The above situation has happened 2 more times, and didn't probably 8 times.
What's going on?
(Right now, it seems to be OK, but who knows...)
