Dag napp-it,I hate when that happens. It makes us look like Ned in the fourth grade missing things like that.

In the famous last words of Buster Scruggs "Well that an't good". Block wheels real well or chain tractor so it can't unexpectedly move more than a few inches forward or backwards and while lying on back or with mirror lying on ground beneath driver's station watch propeller shaft as HST...

The lesson in this is not to discard original carb that can be rebuilt. And to keep an eye out for roadside bargains. :giggle:

Yes and the plot thickens as confused owners come to groups such as this looking for solutions. As well meaning members try walking owner through the process of locating the malfunction the unsuspecting owner is exposed to far more danger of tractor moving without warning. That can lead to...

You did well. With the addition of a momentary switch/button spliced into your zip tied wire you'll basically have an old school start button like all tractors had for decades. You pretty much understand my position on lawyers and safety devices. Anyone needing all those layers of...

Your tractor is later model than I've been around so it's possible Kubota has made the kill lever less visible or installed "new & improved" engine kill feature to replace lever that has worked for decades. In that event stand where you can see pump as you turn ignition switch on and off NOT TO...

I'm glad you came back for the edit, I was about to question your qualifications. 😂

My opinion is that you shouldn't attempt this as a diy. Diesel engines aren't the bag of bolts they sound like. Internal repair must be precis and held to close tolerances,one mistake can result in catastrophic damage. Find an experienced mechanic (not dealership) that will listen to it if...

I once heard about something called Google that some people find things at. Then there's a couple of mom and pops named Ebay and Amazon where they sell misc items. Did nothing come up when you searched?

I doubt there being an electrical but you should be thankful if it is because the other possability is far more serious. If you have a fel,backhoe or blade something may be broke or bent in the vacinity of flywheel allowing things to move around enough to engage starter. While lifting/pulling...

They evidently listen to their artificial intelligence rather than customers about these things. :cautious:

After calming down and shedding your frustration Joe you should edit what you wrote,parts of it aren't coherent. That might be why you haven't got more replies. Before I tell you how to start engine by circumventing safety devices I must warn you that it's dangerous and doing it while in a...

Whoa,hold up there. I never intended to suggest replacing pump or anything else unless tests reveal the need. Half of finding what's wrong is finding out what ISN"T WRONG.

Sure does and a multimeter can find it and other electric problems in less time than it takes to turn a computer on and ask.

I could see why oil in gasoline engines might be difficult to see on yellow background but since oil quickly turns black in diesels yellow makes oil easy to see. I've relied on reflected light for over 60 years so dipstick color isn't high on my list. :unsure:

I'd begin with making sure kill leaver on pump is moving full stroke.,solenoid might be malfunctioning. If you have both electric solenoid and manual pull knob,disconnect electric solenoid until this problem has been nailed down. You might even disable solenoid and operate lever by hand at...

It is embarrassing no one saw that.

I'm afeared you done gone and cooked the alternator or melted insulation off a wire. Examine wires for burnt insulation and if non is found unhook wires from alternator to see if fuse no longer blows. If that doesn't work post back so we can help you dig deeper.

Why not hook an old school cable to it an skip the figitbit system?
