The WSM is scare on details but at the pivot point of the 4WD front axle there is an adjustment screw and lock nut. No details are provided but that would be the first place I would liik for slop causing noise. I will leave it to others to advise on oils. This info is usually in an Operators'...

I looked over the photos you emailed me and your connections are in terrible condition and could well explain why you cannot get her started. This is a critical one; Every single battery cable joint needs to be opened, heavily wire brushed, corroded bolts replaced, frame touched with an angle...

On many tractor models a lift pump is used. With a full tank on level ground gravity can deliver fuel to the injection pump. As the tank level drops, or you operate on a slope, now the lift pump is needed. If you can back up the hill, it is further indication to check the lift pump. Many times...

These procedures are quite generic. The temp guage sensor changes resistance with temperature. You need a multimeter, even a cheap one. You could use a bicycle tire pump to test the oil pressure switch. The switch contacts should open at 7 psi Dave

Please post photos of the top of your battery and where the ground cable connects to the tractor frame. Many problems like you describe can be visually diagnosed with this info. Follow Wolfman's advice but in the meantime post the photos. Since, as a new member you cannot post photos, I will...

If the glow plugs are working properly and you have the correct fuel for the outdoor temp on board the engine should fire immediately. No prolonged periods of cranking. Are you using fuel you bought in the summer and expecting it to work in colder climates? When is the last time you check valve...

/ What tractor are you powering the Farm King blower with? What is the exact model of farm King? Is this the first season you have had this issue or is it your first season with the blower? Who adjusted the length of the pto shaft? If the tractor has more than one pto speed, how to you confirm...

I find the Kubota cables are quite different than the motorcycle cables of my youth. I went to TSC and bought a big syringe made for animals and loaded it with methanol. I injected the methanol through some of the rubber seals. it was not a perfect solution but did help. Dave

Check with forum member 007kubotaguy. He is often parting out the older L series machinesand may have a good tank..

The Operators' manual shows fuse location as shown belwo. Dave

An option is to rig up a temporary fuel supply connected directly to the injection pump thus bypassing most of the fuel system. If the tractor runs OK now you know the expensive stuff like an injection pump is not the problem. Some sort of a squeeze bottle full of diesel so you can keep pressure...

Taking the time to study this OPC logic table may give you some clues if, as I suspect, the HST pedal switch is not the cause but rather just a required condition to shut down the engine. Dave

Steve This is a quick and dirty answer from the top of my head. The seat sits on a metal box. On the front face of his box (which is facing the pedals) is a metal panel held on by 4 bolts. Remove that panel and I think you will find electrical stuff inside. Not certain if this will be the...

The 5 amp fuse is protecting all safety switches. Here is the circuit diagram. (10) AC Terminal Lead (11) Independent PTO Lever Switch (12) Seat Turn Switch (13) HST Pedal Switch (14) Seat Switch (15) Regulator L Terminal Lead Just because the shutdown occurs when you move the HST pedal does...

Before you climb up into the tractor, the left brake turnbuckle is easily seen and adjusted. I don't think you need a flashlight it is that obvious. However, easily confused with the clutch adjustment. Dave

My reply may sound sarcastic but I do not intent it to be. You are asking for help. For many providing the help involves doing some research. Your post seems to have involved very little effort on your part. If you want members to invest their time and knowledge at least provide a more complete...

There are two turnbuckles for brake adjustment. The one for the left brake pedal is not where you think it would be but rather beside the clutch pedal. Each pedal is to have 1.6 to 1.8" free travel Unless you are using brakes for turning best to keep them locked together. If they are not well...

Steve Please advise on your specific model of M7040. I have not seen it if you already have. The slow blow fuses are in a removable panel below the gear shift lever. A nice place for nesting rodents. I will try and determine which fuse is involved but so far it is not obvious in the Operators'...
