Yep, perfect job for metal epoxy putty. Get area clean from dirt and oil, use a solvent to get really clean.

Nice! Looking good.

!? Doesn't sound good.

I think that I would ask a local fuel dealer what blend (percentage) of #2 and #1 they have in winter. The engine is designed for #2. #1 has less energy.

I would check the connectors and interconnect wiring. You may have a nicked wire, or a connector not making good contact, or a wire pulled from a connector. I would use an ohmmeter to find if there is a low conductive part. You will probably need to disconnect some connectors along the way to...

Toybota, there are three electrical circuits to check on the L3800HST. Check these with brake on, PTO disengaged, clutch disengaged (pushed in), sitting on seat. And for safety gear in neutral. Circuit 1 is to the "Key Stop Solenoid" (Fuel solenoid). Hook a test light to one of the two...

I think the capacity is there. The trick is to keep the fins from clogging. Without air flow, there is not enough heat transfer.

I'd start with the key switch also. The charge lamp is connected to the key switch through a main fuse, and on the ground side to the alternator. You can check voltage either or both at the main fuse or the key switch on the "AC" terminal. Key switch "OFF", no voltage. Any other position...

Lol. I meant local shop built and not factory built. My English is not so good, since I speak Texan. Reminds me of a friend who rode a subway in Canada. He asked a woman sitting next to him if she ever worried about being mugged. She said "Oh no, that's against the law"!

Hydraulic hoses at about 10 years. Replace all at the same time. By planning ahead you can have the hoses rebuilt instead of buying new.

If your fuel solenoid has two lugs for positive, then one lug is for pull-in and the other lug for hold. The return path for current is thru ground. Just as important as positive wiring. Ground path and positive path must be low ohms. With battery disconnected on positive side, ohm from ground...

This is simple in concept, but time consuming in practice. There are three basic areas: The key switch, the fuel or key stop solenoid, and the safety circuit. As already suggested, get a copy of the wiring diagram. Then make a copy so that you can use a highliter on the copy as you follow the...

This is the time of year that warm season grasses are producing fluff and getting ready to go dormant. Mare's tail is bad about this and just the right height to hit the tractor front and load the radiator with junk. Not just the filter, but all the radiator fins. Really do keep one eye on the...

Congratulations! Owners manual will go over that. Things like glow plug times. I would suggest double checking fluid levels on arrival, just in case. Separate purchase of Workshop Manual and Illustrated Parts List for later.

Good troubleshooting!

Sounds like a short. Probably rubbed insulation or the like. It would help for you to show your diagram for your particular model. Then we can tell you what to unplug to fault isolate.

Many thanks for following up and posting the solution.

John, thanks for sharing that.

I pull on leather gloves since they seem to last longer. I've tried pigskin and mechanics gloves but they wear out fast. Fluids call for the nitrile that come in 100 pk. Also use these around chemicals. But not for other as they hold in sweat. The white hand cleaner gets oil and grease pretty...

The Workshop Service Manual shows a Clutch Center Tool used for all B and L series. But no part number! Says center piece dia is 20mm. For one-time use you might lathe turn a wood dowel rod. Maybe with measured diameters you might get lucky at auto parts shop. Or try Messicks or such since...
