L3250 clutch peddle question

[Clint.In.Trees]

Hi all. I hope your kubotas are running fine.

My l3250 is doing alright however I was under it today and noticed a bolt was loose. After I got a protective pice of sheet metal off of it I found something that I didn't recognize. Can anyone educate me on what is going on here? I tightened the bolt that I am pointing to.

Looks like a clutch travel stop.

X2 on travel stop, perhaps missing a rubber bumper? I didn't see either on the parts diagram though.

Well that would be where the clutch neutral safety switch is supposed to be attached.
Let me guess it starts in gear.

Haha yup, it will crank in gear..

I tightened it up but wasn't sure if it should touch the clutch when it is pushed in. Currently the two parts don't touch ever.

If you're going to keep it without the safety switch the bracket serves no purpose.

To be safe for others, at least, buy the switch, wire it up, and adjust the bracket as needed. Sure beats running over someone, or through a wall!

What they are trying to say is that you are missing a plunger type switch that screws into the hole in the top (stationary) bracket and the clutch pedal will activate the switch unless it is pushed down.

Have a look for the wires which are bridged/joined above that location, then buy one of these and fit it and make your tractor safe
