To state the basic blower operation. The augers move the snow towards the center of the blower where flat rotating surfaces or paddles push it into the fan. There is no sucking going on other than air movement through the blower fan. It happens that auger shear bolts fail but remnants of the...

Steve When you are measuring 4 volts you have removed the wiring connector from the solenoid. One probe is against the terminals inside the connector. Where are you grounding the other multi meter lead? It should be against the metal of the engine i.e. a battery ground. it should NOT be against...

Russell The reason for the engine stop solenoid and how it is designed to work has two different strategies which creates the confusion. I suspect but do not know that Kubota is getting engines, perhaps made under license or bought outright, from other manufacturers. This is why their stop...

Henro My experience is to leave the belt off one pulley and get the spring in place. I then rotate the mower spindles and lever the displaced belt into place using a flat bar between the pulley and the belt. As things rotate, the flat bar moves past the pulley and you are left with the spring...

Steve I am sorry if my reply seemed harsh. Never my intention and if that is how it felt at your end I am truly sorry. By way of an excuse for not being more cautious with my language, I was posting after 2 am because I could not sleep due to severe pain. With many systems on today's tractors...

You need to understand how to test the solenoid as you can easily damage it. This is the test procedure. There are two internal coils. Your haphazard testing may have already damaged the unit. There is an internal switch which cuts power to the pull coil once the plunger moves. This is not a...

Suggest you contact forum member 007kubotaguy. He is often parting out older L series and may have what you need. Use the envelope symbol in upper right corner of most forum pages to start a conversation with him. Dave

Some owners have had success in getting a sluggish pump to start pumping by using a shop vac to pressurize the fluid reservoir. The shop vac, by design, is very limited in the pressure it can generate but sometimes it is enough to get things moving. Dave

What is the noise in the background in your video. When you say wont start you need to be more specific such as wont crank, cranks but wont fire. Do you know how to jump your starter? Dave

There is a hydraulic block on the right side of the tractor. Shown in your picture which I have marked up. The yellow arrow is pointing to a pin used to rotate a selector valve. Try rotating the pin until it hits the vertical stop. If that does not make things work, don't leave it in the new...

I tried to help a friend with an HST B7100 with a mid pto fit a front mounted blower. Forum member Torch provided me with part numbers for the various mount parts. I ordered the parts from Messicks. When I picked them up I found out Kubota had re-used the old part numbers and all I got was some...

You need to determine if your tractor has an independent pto. Not all do and those that dont act like yours is now. The lack of a low pto speed may mean a shift fork is out of position internally. Dave p.s. I found I have a copy of the Owner's manual for your tractor and it shows a dual plate...

Look in the G section of the workshop manual. I do not have the exact manual for your model but the early sections of the manual are where you find the routine steps for troubleshooting and maintenance. This is page G-44 in the manual I have. Dave

I have had good success identifying specific cylinders not outputting their share using an infra red temp gun pointed at each exhaust port on the head. It may be that your issue is too brief to produce a difference in temp but for the cost of the guns these days and the other uses for them it...

Do you really have an alternator or is it possible you have a dynamo with only two wires coming from it? Throwing money and parts at a problem usually does not work. Forum member Lugbolt wrote a trouble shooting procedure for dynamo systems which I will attach. If you can return the dynamo do...

I would be suspecting the glow plug controller. Try this trick. this is a paste from another post but will give you some ideas. It relates to a M7040 but the M8540 is the same generation I think. Kubota glow plug operation In very cold weather, with the block heater plugged in, the glow plug...

Russell There are a number of variations of the larger style Ford starter solenoid/relay. Back in the days when cars had ignition points and condensers, ballast resistors were added to the ignition circuit to lower the stress on the points. The trouble was the spark from the plugs was too...

The block as you refer to it is actually a heavy duty relay often found on older Ford vehicles and also garden tractors. John Deere came out with a relay kit to help tractors with starting difficulties as the numerous safety switches aged and developed too much resistance to trigger the starter...

Wire cross sectional area which relates to current carrying capacity. Look on the chart below. Green section shows 0.5mm2 which is what is on your diagram. Dave

On the starter solenoid there is a large terminal where the + battery cable is connected. The purpose of the fusible link is to protect the entire electrical system. The fusible link needs to be connected to the same terminal as the battery cable. Either directly or with a short length of heavy...
