Went to move some gravel today...no start. No power, no glowplug, no lights. The battery is brand new, so checked everything. Couldn't even get the battery to charge. It's an 850cca a.c.delco gold less than a month old. Had to connect another old battery in series to get get it over 6v and start charging - tomorrow we'll see, otherwise it goes back.

Delco makes great batterys. But sounds like you got a dud that slipped through quality control.

Thanks guys, her name is Sophie. Probably should have named her "Lucky" because as a 1 week old pup she along with her mother (with a broken leg) and litter mates were at the pound in a different county. Local animal shelter learned of their plight, took a van there and rescued them two days before they were to be euthanized. Mother ended up loosing her leg but recovered and all got adopted. I picked her mainly because the color of her fur matched the tan fabric in my truck at the time. :)

Back on topic..... I used a hair dryer to remove 6-7 warning stickers off the tractor and LP quick hitch and I must say it looks SO much better. There are a few more which I may remove.

Now you must worry about the paint getting scratched up. What were you thinking?

I must have been real excited when I towed my new B2650 home. All the stickers blew off on the way. What a clean look. I remember when I bought my old NH new, it only had 2 to remove. The new Kubota had over 20. Almost more sticker than paint.

BTW - Ignore the haters. The panty brigade here are going to lambaste us now for endangering the earth, the dealer network and our own life safety as well as the safety of everyone nationwide. The tractor now has no value and no dealer in the world (except every one in business) will take it in trade missing a sticker.

So there is a little pre-warning for you. Mere mortals are not supposed to modify a Kubota tractor EVER!. I find it really odd with this brand or forum anyway. I never got that on the blue side, it was more of a do what you need to get it done type crowd.

Example of great binary thinking.

IMO, once you own it... you can do what you want with it.
I like my eggs over-medium, my bourbon straight, and cheese on broccoli (if the gigadier-brindle makes me eat broccoli). :D

Lol, for the first 35 years of marriage I cooked the meals because I was home from work first and there was never a word said about you could have or should have done it this way, just a thanks honey that was great. Since the last 8 years of retirement my wife does the cooking and many days she'll look at me and ask what would you like tonight, my reply is always the same, sounds good or yep. After cooking for that many years whatever she puts in front of me is just fine with me and I never forget to look at her and say thanks honey that was great.;) As for stickers on the tractor personally I couldn't give a rats ass if they're on it or not even if I'm buying used, only one person I have to please when it comes to that.

I curious, what type of personality takes the time and energy to de-badge a tractor?
