I own a Kubota L2502 and one morning, the engine suddenly shut down and stopped working. When we attempt to run the engine, it cranks but won’t start. Any advice on how to get it started again?

How did it shut down? Like a key was turned off or like it was struggling to get fuel?
If it died like a key was turned then you need to figure out what electrical switch or problem is causing it to not run.

If it acted like it ran out of fuel then:

Does it have fuel in the tank? Was it empty when it stopped running?

Have you investigated if fuel is getting to the injection pump?

It could be as simple as a fuse to an electric fuel pump is blown or that the pump stopped working (if you have an electric pump).

Start by making sure fuel is getting out of the tank and all the way to the injection pump

What were you doing at the time?

My 2501 did the exact same thing one time, and it ended up that a stick knocked off my filter bowl.

I had no idea what happened until I was walking back to the shop and saw my fuel bowl laying on the ground.
