Kubota has a "fix as fail" injector issue with some M7060s. WhiteTiger has posted this a couple of times and I had saved and now it's lost. Had serial number ranges affected. Hopefully he sees this and posts it again. Your dealer should know of it.

If you still have your jumper you made put it back on the solenoid and touch it to the lug on the starter, If the starter turns and does it every time we will know you have good battery connections and the starter and solenoid is good. Can you post the electrical schematic for that tractor? Mine...

Sitting here thinking about where I would start with your new information. If the lights are dim again, I would start by wiggling wires around and see if they will brighten up again, suggesting where a bad wire or connection is. I have a BX22 and have been under the dash so I know what a...

Take your negative meter lead and hold it against the metal case of the starter. Try to find a shiny place or scratch it to make a good connection. Hold the positive meter lead to the big terminal on the starter. You should have very near the same 12.48 volts. Now turn the switch to start the...

If it has indeed been Loctited, you need 350+ F. to release its bond. I don't see any signs you have had it that temperature. It will burn the paint off. If I were trying this I would get the 2 jaw puller back on it and get it tight. Then get out the rosebud and heat it HOT. If it hasn't come...

How about an update on how this worked?

I had to tighten the belt on my M7060 at around 100 hours to stop it squealing so probably not an uncommon thing.

This is sounding like your brake safety switch is out of adjustment.

PTO is hydraulic.

My ZD is a 2007, his is a 2006-2008 and I believe it is virtually the same machine with a bigger deck and engine. That mod cured my mower's safety switch issues. If he reports back with a below 12 volt reading to the start solenoid, for what ever reason, this mod will work for him. If he has no...

There are five. One each on the R and L levers, one on the mower clutch, one on the brake, and the seat switch. This is a mod that has been performed on many BXs and ZDs, among others. If you Google "John Deere Low Voltage Start Relay" you will find lots of reading. It works.

Combining boom and swing motions makes it more manageable.

That's 500 fewer hours than my ZD21. I would have guessed you had more than mine. I'm betting the low voltage relay mod would solve your problems but the voltage reading would confirm that.

I own a ZD so I know a little about them. It's a solid machine. How it's used or abused, maintenance, and luck will determine how long it can last. Mine has 1650 hours. It was bought used with about 1500 hours on it. I mow about 3 acres, some of it pretty rough. Here in the high desert I only...

A ZD is a commercial mower. I agree that 6 acres a week would be a lot of mowing and the mower likely has quite a few hours, but it is a diesel and should run 4 or 5000 hours if taken care of. You may be correct on his mechanical abilities. I'm hoping he can check the voltage at the start...

I've been down the road I believe amosmandy is on. Have to wiggle levers, etc. to try to get it to start. The very common issue is the contacts on the switches degrade to the point there is too much accumulated resistance through the 5 switches and the start solenoid doesn't receive high enough...

I realize you have ongoing problems with safety switches. Check voltage as I stated earlier. If low voltage is the issue, there is an easy fix.

Can I ask specifically what problem you are having? I have never had to adjust or replace a safety switch on my ZD. If a safety switch is preventing the engine starter from engaging, you might check the voltage the starter solenoid is receiving when the key is turned to the start position. That...

No. Not that easy.

The switches have to be in one position to start the engine and in the opposite position for operation. I'm sure the combination box is there so simple jumpers can't be used to disable the safety switches. I was tempted to bypass that whole system when my combination box failed and was also...
