    I have a 1995 B2150 and am attempting to remove the radiator to install a new water pump. I have removed the two side bolts from each side holding the fan shroud onto the radiator and have removed a couple of hoses, but the radiator appears to still be connected at the base somehow. Can anyone...

    Istallation of AM107421 Relay Modification Kit

    Good news! I connected test wire clamp to the trigger blade connector on the solenoid and another clamp to the + terminal of the battery and pressed a push switch to complete the circuit and the engine cranked and kicked over and began running. (I had also turned the ignition key to the...

    Istallation of AM107421 Relay Modification Kit

    Dave: Basically it says the red wire goes to the battery terminal of the starter; the black wire goes to ground. You plug the black/white lead that would normally go to the starter, to the male purple connector of the relay; and the female purple lead connector to the starter. Ismurphy...

    Istallation of AM107421 Relay Modification Kit

    My starter/solenoid clicks when engaging the ignition key to the start position. I've cleaned the battery cables and posts and have cleaned the chassis ground and the battery registers 12+ volts. I have purchased a John Deere relay modification kit, AM107421. It has 4 wires; 1) a red wire...

    Contacted Lastec and was told that the white wire that I replaced was not a fusible link, so it looks like we've reached the end of the story. Thanks so much!

    Steve, I never even considered a fusible link; it just looked like a common wire to me and I just went through a few spools of wire and chose what looks like a 14 or 16 gauge braided wire. I'm going to take the one I took off over to the Kubota dealership and check to see if it could be a link...

    Eureka! Finally got over the nasty cold and went back to work on the shutdown solenoid problem. Based on the circuitry suggestions I again tested the continuity from one of the shutdown solenoid contacts via an orange wire back toward the starter solenoid. The continuity was fine for the...

    On top on everything, I've come down with a nasty cold. I'll get back to let you know, once I shake this cold. Could be a couple of days.

    Sterno: Today I purchased a relay and replaced each relay; i.e., CR 1, 2,3, and 4 in turn and none affected the shutoff solenoid plunger which remained in the extended shutdown position. After doing this, I fashioned a replacement plate to cover and install in the location where the shutoff...

    Received new stop solenoid today. Couldn't wait to install it. Guess what.....; the new one doesn't work either. So, I'm back to square one. I'll go back over all the wiring suggestions and hopefully find something. Before I installed the new solenoid I connected it to the two wire...

    Lastec 3372 Kubota Engine Will Not Fire

    Well....., I checked for continuity between the starter solenoid wire going to the shutdown solenoid and it appeared to be just fine. I looked on ebay today and saw one shutdown solenoid with the right part number...., and since the auction was ending today, I decided to pick it up for $100...

    Lastec 3372 Kubota Engine Will Not Fire

    Hello All, Thanks for your input. I have a knowledge base of absolute zero as it relates to volts/ohms/amps/multimeters/etc, but will try to do some of the suggested troubleshooting tomorrow. I really appreciate the information I've received. I did attempt to attach the electrical schematic...

    Lastec 3372 Kubota Engine Will Not Fire

    Well, here is the latest status report: I decided to try to start the engine without the stop solenoid in place. I reasoned that by removing the solenoid, I would be assuring that the solenoid plunger/fuel rack shutoff relationship would be taken out of the equation. Guess what; the engine...

    Lastec 3372 Kubota Engine Will Not Fire

    Stubbyie, Thanks for the input. I'm trickle charging the battery and even though it cranked the engine reasonably well, it jumped to 8 amps on the charger when I first plugged it in; so may have been weaker than I thought. Related to the chassis ground; yesterday I completely cleaned and wire...

    Lastec 3372 Kubota Engine Will Not Fire

    The two wires to the two stop solenoid terminals are as follows: The red with yellow stripe wire to the #2 terminal pulls the 12.28 volts and leads from the #2 terminal to one of three relays. The orange wire from the #1 terminal pulls no volts and leads to and ends as a blade connector to a...

    Lastec 3372 Kubota Engine Will Not Fire

    Today I removed the stop solenoid from the injector pump and with the wires still connected to it, I grounded it while the ignition switch was in the on position; nothing happened with the solenoid prong. I turned the key to start and cranked the engine; again nothing happened to the prong on...

    Stumpy/Stubbyie, Thanks for the suggestions. I'm sure I did not have the stop solenoid grounded when I had it wired, but out of its mounting location. (I know little to nothing about electricity, but do have a multimeter, so should be able to conduct the test tomorrow.) I did, however, look at...

    Here's an update. Took the injector stop solenoid off and it did not cycle when I cranked the engine. The prong stays in the extended position, but will depress with finger pressure. (The rack itself was not stuck and operated smoothly when depressed with my finger.) I left the solenoid...

    Does anyone know if possibly a faulty fuel solenoid could be the culprit? And ... if so, how could I check the solenoid out to determine whether it's functioning properly or not? Thanks
