L3130 GST Electrical

[derrick326]

The tractor starts fine however within a second of shifting the shuttle shifter into fwd or rev, you hear a click and then the tractor dies (fuel shutoff solenoid?). I've check the seat safety switch. I've looked all over for a safety switch on the shuttle shifter (in the transmission?)

It was purchased in 2003. Serial # 36106. Does anyone have an electrical diagram?

I have 3 "extra" electrical plugs coming off the wiring harness from under and to the rear of the seat. Is this an optional wiring plug for an air seat? It appears to can a dummy cap that has been damaged (see picture). Is this a jumper?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

There's a free pdf WorkShop Manual available at KubotaBooks. Toward the end is the electrical section. Make sure you're on the GST part. Your fuel solenoid has two coils, a pull-in coil is energized with the starter, the hold coil is energized anytime the keyswitch is on. Any shutdowns on your tractor remove power from the hold coil, shutting off the fuel.

Do those black connectors plug together?

No. They are not compatible with each other.

Thanks for the info. However, the "free" manuals are not free. Be careful how things are represented. It's about being honest. "Fake news" and deceit are everywhere.

I have no clue what your getting at?
@PoTreeBoy said you could get the WSM from Kubotabooks, that wasn't a popup?

I sent you the WSM, I didn't get any money for doing that, so read it and figure out your issue.

When you go to their site, hit the M7 picture and it takes you to the directory. Yeah, there are a lot of pop-up ads, but you don't have to buy or pay anything. There are other sites that charge $, spam you and don't deliver.

You can also take a thumb drive to your dealer, if you're on good terms, and he/she may provide one free or reasonable. Otherwise, you can buy a paper one for ~$100.

If you're referring to copyright issues, I don't think Kubota is too worried about it, or they would go after these sites and shut down their dealers. Oh, you may be able to register at myKubota and have it available.

Edit: And flashback to perusing the Sears Roebuck catalog as a teenager and enjoy the lingerie pics.

And, I did not thank you for doing so. So, Thank You! I did get suckered into paying for the WSM but I d=got it and I got the issue resolved. So, in the end Kubotabooks got me what I wanted. It just wasn't "free".

Yes, It is very unfortunate. The website manager should take note of the deceit. In the meantime, if you refer to Kubotabooks, you might consider passing along your secondary info. i'm sure they can change it quickly but thats only because "they" want to be deceitful.

Update!

Issue Resolved!

What's the only thing that acts like an open switch all the time? An open circuit!

The Seat safety switch wires were broken right at the end of the harness after coming in the operator's area from under the chassis. See photos. It was extremely difficult to locate. I looked at those wires probably close to 2 dozen times. I had to remove the fastener holding the harness to the frame before I could get a peak at it and then it was a bear to open the harness, strip the wires back and splice the wires. I did'nt log my hours but i probably spent close to 35 hours (should I be ashamed?) researching and troubleshooting everything before returning to my original suspicion that it was the seat safety switch.

I'm glad you got it resolved. I'm no fan of those plugs at all. I've had to deal with them for many years where I worked. Whenever I came across this issue, I would fix the break in the conductor, use a dielectric grease on the plug connection, and tape up the whole thing running the tape out at least an inch either side of the plug. Never seen it come back in the maint. shop for that problem again.

Glad to hear you got your issue figured out.

I don't understand what or who you paid for the manual from?
