Kubota 2004 l48.. blowing fuses and sometimes won’t start, sometimes.
1. won’t start, sometimes, turn key, nothing not even a click. Lights on dash light up but no turn over.8 months ago the glow plug icon started coming on as I drove along. that was a change. I know about the safety start switches but can’t seem to locate the problem.I t will be running and bang,stop, blown fuse.or turn key and nothing... the fuse that blows is a ten,seems to go to alternator with a wire off to glow plug light. Any ideas.?thanks rich

You seem to be lumping several problems together. Generally if dash lights illuminate but starter won't turn you have not satisfied a safety. The dying while running may or may not be related. Something has to turn off the fuel to kill the engine. Getting off the seat while in motion or while PTO is engaged can do that. Can you identify which fuse blows? Going into winter I'd be concerned about any glow plug controller or the glow plugs themselves. More info might help isolate the problem.
