#kubotawontstart If your Kubota tractor won't start watch this video - and try this first. For almost a Month I could not start the Kubota Tractor, come to find out after testing every switch and relay on the tractor it is a plunger switch on the what Kubota calls the (speed control pedal in the owners manual) (they should call it the Forward/Reverse pedal) Translators ? LOL. I replaced the switch watch that video here: • Starting Issues with K... The switch I got was for a 2013 L3800 Kubota TD-060-53902 yours may have a different number ...I did see some online but I would check your local Kubota dealer first. To test circuits, fuses and switches use a multimeter tester you can get one here: amzn.to/2A5ihXN , you check continuity of circuits...simple example: if you have a standard fuse you put the test wires on either end if fuse is blown it wont show on your meter, if its good needle will go up showing that current can flow through it...(Continuity) if your multi-meter doesn't have a dedicated continuity test mode, you can still perform a continuity test. Turn the dial to the lowest setting in the resistance mode in the ohms portion of the meter.

I just want to thank you! Today while working on the land I shut my tractor down for a quick break, when I tried starting the glow plugs and dash would light up but nothing with cranking over. I tied everything I could think of, after no success I turned to you tube. I found your video and tried out the foot pedal switch by rocking back and forth- it worked! I was able to finish the job and save money on calling onto the dealer/ service. Thanks again for your valuable video!!!

Just want to say thank you for the video. I have a 23-year-old Kubota, which is used for plowing snow and hauling firewood. I have had no problem with it till today. Up to our butt in snow from the last few days and it decided not to start... All these years, I have never had one go. SO, I watched your video and subscribed, LIked... This gave me the idea that it was one of those lockouts... I dug in and around, poked prodded, low and behold it was one of them; frozen closed... would have cost me a months pension check to get someone to look at it... Thank You Very Much for the idea...

We have been fighting this mysterious, non-starting problem for over a year!!! It was so intermittent that we could not predict when it was going to happen so I just left my tractor running when working. One time it happened to me with the tractor out in the field and I thought I was royally screwed. 2 days later it just decided to start again!! We have tested everything possible, even the starter to no avail. The fact that juggling the steering wheel, or plugging in the battery tender worked was crazy. There was no way to even explain it to a technician. THANK YOU Virginia Srew. This was an excellent video. Mine is a L3200. Perfect.

Was having this intermittent problem. My tractor only has 125 hours, so based on the many comments here I venture to say that this limit switch is somewhat maladjusted from the factory, barely making contact. Over time, it either quits making contact or just every now and then. I removed the switch (only one bolts holds it in place) and re-adjusted. Problem gone. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Thank you so much! 2 Kubota dealers couldn't tell me what was wrong but I had the exact same issue. It's absolutely infuriating that Kubota makes these machines inoperable if any of these OPC sensors fail. Imagine if your seat belt broke in your car or truck and your vehicle became inoperable and then the dealer says they can't take it in for a month?!

Nice job of troubleshooting the problem. It's exactly minor problems like this that cause you to better know and understand your machine.

I was taking a brief break for dinner and when I got back to my tractor, it just wouldn't start. It was getting dark fast in late Sept Pacific NW. I ran back home and turned on you tube and watched your video (yours popped up first thank god). Before I even finished watching the whole video I ran back and pressed the fuel peddle back and forth and then holding my breath to turn the key, the engine was on at first turn what a great feeling. Thank you so much for posting this video. It saved me a ton of stress as I did not have to leave my tractor overnight in the wide open filed and going to bed thinking about what to do the next day. I hope other fellow Kubota owners find your video when they have the same issue instead of finding their way to an expensive dealership.

I owe you a fish! Listening very carefully to your video saved me again! After locating the plunger underneath I reach with my hand to the pedal pressing it forward to get it off the plunger then started pressing it over and over again with my finger, engine started. Kubota B2650.

Thank you for this video. I had the same issue with my L3301. I found out that my problem was to much slack in the PTO lever. After making the adjustment, the lever is more secure in it's slot and it starts every time now.

Great video. Went right out. Found the switch. Pulled it / cleaned it / hand held the plunger / started the tractor / reinstalled the switch... works well. I did use oil to clean the device so the actual plunger and switch operated better. Thank you so much!

I had the same problem last Spring when plowing a field of weeds towing a disc harrow. I turned too sharp and got stuck in some read loose sand. Got up and out of my cab to pull the hitch pin in order to com around and pull the disc harrow back and straighten it out. When I stood up, the engine quit. Hmm, never did that before. Then for about the next 8 hours I couldn't start it. Apparently I stood up when the pedal had not quite returned to a neutral position. It wasn't until I shifted from 4WD to 2WD that something moved and the engine started. I believe this video expresses exactly what I experienced. There is also another video very similar showing all that is needed is some oil inside that plunger switch. Sometimes the smallest thing causes the biggest headaches. Thanks for the great video.

Thank you, definitely saved me! I have a Kubota MX5200 and ignition/starting had become unreliable. It would start the first time in a day but if I turned if off after using it, it would not restart. If I came back a day later it would start again. Turns out the pedal was sticky and wouldn't reset all the way so the switch you mentioned was not engaged. After a few hours it would eventually reset on its own and that is why I would be able to start it the first time but not after.

I have a 2017 B2650 and this Y pedal switch has been a real PITA. It’s constantly an issue. As I’m writing this comment it’s because tractor won’t crank and that switch is problem. Getting ready to crawl under there and eliminate it.
