I have a Kubota B5200d (4wd) tractor that came with the house and property that I just bought. Not sure what year it is, but it seems to be in [mostly] good shape.

It is a bare bones unit; no loader (darn), a 3 pt in the rear (came with a 4' brush hog too), and a belly mower that isn't working at the moment, I'll worry about that later though.

After letting the glo plugs heat up for about 15 seconds it starts right up. It shifts fine, a little jerky at first (which is probably me),

Here's the first problem: the kill switch isn't working. Only way to shut it off is to put it in 3rd, stand (almost literally) on the brakes, and pop the clutch. These were the exact instructions from the previous property owner. This can't be good for the machine and am wondering where a new kill switch can be bought; better yet, does anyone know the part number?

For the 2nd problem, it's got a stuck throttle cable. Any advice on the part number for that?

Lastly, the seat pan is rusted through. First time I grabbed it getting up on the thing I nearly landed on my backside. So once again I'm looking for a part number and/or source for a new seat assembly.

Kubota doesn't appear to be very forthcoming with their part numbers, so any help would really be appreciated.

Getting kubota Part numbers is easy:

Agree to legal, put in B5200, then on next page select b5200D and you can see every single part of the tractor.

That model does not have an solenoid, so no switch to kill it, it's done via cable on the dash.

Get a new cables and it will cure issues.

You can get seats off of Ebay or other sources, much cheaper than Kubota, on an obsolete part.

You should probably get an owners manual for that tractor so you can see how it was designed to start and stop

If it doesn't have an electric shut off & its a manual cable shut off.. U can put it in neutral, get off & reach in & manually pull the lever to shut it down..
THAT would probably be a lot easier on the clutch..
& of course, get a new cable..!!
