    can someone tell me what this part is?

    I just put the two wires together directly for the moment and she fired right up with no smoking. It's been this way for decades so I didn't think it would a problem temporarily. I just needed the nerve to try that.

    can someone tell me what this part is?

    Yes, the connections on the link are extremely corroded and is where the smoke was coming from. I think someone installed the direct jumper many moons ago without putting the fuse back in between. Any idea what size fuse I should use? It's a link between the ignition and the starter I believe...

    can someone tell me what this part is?

    I assume at one point there was a fuse between the jumper. That is the only purpose I can see for this part. Thanks for any help!

    can someone tell me what this part is?

    This came off of an early 80's Kubota M4500DT. It was attached to the firewall. Lately every time I would start it smoke would come from the wires attached to this part. Now the tractor won't start and this part gets real hot and smokes. Obviously the wiring was in bad shape and was causing the...

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    From the first pic, do I need to align the one that's not in the middle with the other two? If so it doesn't move by hand. What say the smart guys? Please help

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    I'm gonna pull off the cover plate and take pics. Maybe y'all will see something that way and be able to help better. I've never messed with a tractor transmission so I probably won't know what I need to move around. Thanks.

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    Another thing is I can start it without pushing in the clutch, but I hear some noise not bad, but definitely noise. When I depress the clutch the noise clears up. When trying to pull the shifter down I can feel the gears turning or rubbing through the shifter stick. It seems to have too much...

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    I just checked and I can move the tractor some. The wheels don't seem to be locked. When it first happened I was also able to depress the clutch and roll backwards down a slight slope. I forgot about that. Then I was trying every gear to get moving again with the same result of it dying when I...

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    I was wondering about the brake myself. It acts as if I was trying to start in too high of a gear and I was pulling a heavy load. As soon as the clutch is fully released it dies. This also exactly what happens if I forget to release the brake handle. However, the handle is released and I e never...

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    I will also add that I haves used this tractor for about 100 hrs with zero problems since purchase. Then I changed the hydraulic/ transmission fluid just the other day. I used it a couple times after the change, but probably only for 30 minutes total max. I put A John Deere approved 303 fluid in...

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    It's definitely in gear and will not budge out of it. I was moving gears ok for a minute or two and trying each gear and the tractor would not move. It finally stuck in 3rd and still won't budge.
