A quick update: the ignition switch has been replaced and the tractor is working fine. Thanks everyone.

After figuring out why my multimeter gives me wrong readings, I have cleared the wiring to the main switch (testing with the multimeter and the 12v light). My main switch is the problem. I get infinite resistance across the terminals when the key is in the On, Start, or Preheat positions...

Apparently my meter does not like me. We replaced the negative battery cable this evening. With only the negative terminal connected to the battery, testing DC volts from the positive terminal to the chassis, it gave me the wildly inconsistent readings every time. My husband tested the exact...

The truth of the matter is that I feel out of my depth with anything mechanical. So, of course it has to be the worst possible solution. The service manual starts with checking the battery, then checks the feed to the main switch. It does not go into depth about how to track down a fault...

Err... HST? Google tells me that's Hydrostatic Transmission. I am pretty sure I do not have that. It is a very basic tractor with a PTO and no bells or whistles, but it is enough for me. http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/2/9/1292-kubota-l2350.html The first thing I did was pull...

I should mention that when I say "dead", I mean no lights, no clicking from the starter, no glow plug, etc. Before, lights would work even if the key was not in (I killed the battery a couple of times because I hit the switch without realizing it).

1. AutoZone and Advance Auto both checked the battery. Voltage and load were good. 2. It does not crank at all. I will double check the safety switch and PTO, just to be sure. 3/4. Both battery cables are solid connections, according to my multimeter resistance test. 5. I did test the...

A little background: I've had my L2350 for about 3 years, bought from the widow of the original owner. I... Abuse it, for lack of better word. But I have learned how to change oil, use a grease gun, and all sorts of other things I never knew how to do, so, yay me. And yay OrangeTractorTalks...
