R520 Blown Fuse

[radioactivenewf]

Hi All,
I joined this forum for some assistance in troubleshooting an issue with this loader. Either a service manual, or if someone has had this problem could chime in.
The tractor starts and runs fine, but when the brake switch is pressed to release and the tractor starts to move the fuse blows. I have checked the brake solenoid for wires grounded but found nothing. I have searched this forum for all the R520 threads with no luck for this symptom. Is there a way to check for condition of solenoid? Does someone have the service manual? Wiring diagram? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Sorry, no cheap or free WSM for that model.
Some say if you walk into a local Kubota dealer with a blank USB key some will download the manual for you for cheap.

Thanks for the reply. I will give that a try... I cant even find the fuse box diagram online.

I would pull apart the steering column first and pull the brake connector apart and hose the heck out of it with contact cleaner if no visible damage is seen. Have seen a lot of issues with abrasion when monkeys get into the column cover

I found one site which claims to sell a WSM for $20. It might be worth the gamble.

This is a downloadable manual, not a paper copy. If you download it, I suggest downloading it first to your computer, and then putting the manual on a memory stick in the event that you should ever have a harddrive failure.
