My M125X stopped moving forward suddenly without warning, the light on bottom right of dash indicated N for neutral, pulled shuttle lever in neutral then back into forward still nothing, but will go into reverse, I can drive it in reverse, I know it's an electrical issue, hydraulic level good, just wondering if anyone else experienced this issue, looked at all the fuses they were fine, I bought the tractor used about 5 years ago, it's a 2012 or 2o13 model, I have no wiring diagram or book came with the tractor, before I go tearing it apart to try to find the short was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, thanks very much, Rob.

I'd start by testing the shuttle switch. Maybe it's not sending a signal to the "forward" circuit. The indicator shows R in reverse? It shows N in neutral? Still shows N in forward?

Thank you, yes it shows R for reverse, and shows N for neutral and still shows N in forward, that was my thought as well to start with the shuttle switch, I spoke with a mechanic by phone, he said I could switch the forward and reverse solenoid to see if it's a bad solenoid, he couldn't tell me exactly where those are, and of course Kubota is currently upgrading their computer system so I can't get a printout of the electrical schematics, the solenoids are probably under the cab which I'm sure I'll have to remove the seat that I was hoping to avoid, but I'll start with the shuttle, thanks for your input, really appreciate it, Rob

Welcome to this forum
I suggest since you looked at all fuses to check for a faulty relay. Drive by wire systems are great until they fail. I'm glad my M7040 reverser is controlled by a shift cable.
