    Finish mower blade sharpening? Jigs, freehand, angle grinder, bench grinder, stone, paper?

    I like the edge a bench stone puts on blade but I'm too lazy to use one. If your neighbors watch 4.5" angle grinder looks cool and 7" looks macho.

    Wiring rops lights - LX2610

    You shouldn't add another load to existing fuses so just add a fuse and switch for new lights. If you are TRYING to say there's no JUICE to headlamps AND you want all lights controlled by one switch then yes you need to do some troubleshooting to determine why head lamps don't work.

    Considering his definition of start as "crank over" I wouldn't place bets on his definitions.

    !5-40 Rotella oil

    I've often wondered how much longer air cooled engines would have lasted had multi-grade oil been used. I'd venture at least 2x. I recall 30w oil being thick as honey coming from can when weather was cold. Every 4 stroke I own gets 15w-40 year round (Central Texas).

    She won't crank over.

    There's lots of snorting and shooting up these days but huffing is out of style so maybe he thought his tractor doesn't fit in.

    D722 sat for a long time won't start

    I'm not sure what the pit cock is for but many diesels have one to bleed the pump. You say it drips if opened while electric lift pumps is running. Have you opened it while lift pump is running AND engine is cranking over as when starting engine?

    She won't crank over.

    They say thousands of dollars are spent every day on glow plugs,batteries,pumps,harnesses, injectors and such when the only reason tractor doesn't start is burnt out indicator bulb. 😮

    Kubota BX2230- Will not turnover.....

    I don't feel like studying the parts list,electric diagram and wsm to see specifics but that's what you should do/have done. Me thinks you ether missed a blown main fuse or possibly lost battery continuity thereby causing engine to die when shutdown solenoid cut fuel off. Now there's no...

    using the Kubota parts site

    Sadly Kubota doesn't put forth much effort helping owners maintain and repair tractors. You will have better luck with these private companies for parts. Messicks,German Bliss, Colman's Kubota. Let us know what you think about those companies. Dealers can be hit or miss,some are very...

    She won't crank over.

    If you have trouble understanding diagrams for electric circuits to wire it back to origuinal,here's a shortcut to find out if lack of glow plug power is actually the problem. Put clips on each end of heavy wire,clip one end to any of three glow plugs and other to + battery post or cable post...

    She won't crank over.

    WHOA! You posted that picture while these old sore fingers typed a response. I don't see a wire leading to glow plugs. If they aren't getting battery power (you must give them time to heat before turning engine over to start) that's almost certainly the problem.

    She won't crank over.

    STOP-IT and get off that tractor before TPS takes it to foster care where you will only be allowed supervised visits until you finish owner training. :unsure: Now that you got rid of starting fluid you are killing the starter by long duration cranking. Let's regroup and start at square #1...

    I respect that site owners and their representees (admin & mods) get to call the shots on who rubs elbows on their site and hope they respect my right to ask why they allowed above spam post to stand for over 5 weeks and ask members if they reported it during those weeks? I am reporting it.
