So i have 3 L3400s and i have been having a heck of a time with these fuel shut off solenoids over the years.
Not one issue with my 5060, but every one of my 3400 solenoids have died at some point, it's part number 1A021-60017 that it calls for and i've tried Kubota's solenoid (lasted about a year, $190 at the time) and tried many others from lasting about 2 years to being bad right out of the box.
Just ordered the top rated one from Amazon and it was bad right out of the box, ordered one from complete tractor (it died within 6 months) got one from my local tractor store, it lasted about 1 year 4 months before it died, and cost more than the OEM one.
Has anyone here had any lock with any of these part numbered ones 1A021-60010, 1A021-60013, 1A021-60015, 1A021-60017
Only thing i've been able to figure out is i've modified one solenoid by cutting the plastic cover off, welding 2 pieces of metal on both sides, using another rod from another solenoid, cutting it down to the right size to push the other one in and hold it with a piece of metal welded to the other pieces so i can just flip it up to cut the fuel pressure off, just have to keep opening the hood to start and cut it off each time.
There's gotta be a better way.
