Does any glow plug indicator come on when the key is first turned on?
Can you turn the key backwards? Other Kubota models require you to turn the Key backwards to heat the Plugs.;)

i believe you turn the key backwards hold there for 1 min below 20 f and 30 sec below 40 f. there should be a glowing heating element on dash to show you the system is working.when key is turned backwards

As mentioned above their is a chrome metal disc looking thing with a hole in it on the dash board to the right if the steering wheel, look inside the hole you should see what looks like a small coil spring. Turn ignition key to the left and hold it in that position until this coil glows red then turn key to right to start as normal.

On bright days I cup my hand over it so I can see the coil glowing, if that doesn't work I just put my finger over the hole and wait till my finger gets hot : ) careful it will leave a blister. Good luck.

billback, amthatiam,
I know you guys are just trying to help, but the bigger and newer tractors don't have a physical indicator (heater coil) like the old smaller tractors had.
They do it all with electronics and lamps. The newer tractors even use a computer to control the glow plugs and timing.
Yes, if the key turns backwards then that's probably the way the glow plugs heat.
If the tractor doesn't have a block heater get one of those installed too.;)

I guess I do have a Memory problem, I can not remember the Specs on the more than 150 models that You posted. Of course there are the M models and other models that You did not mention. Oh wait, maybe I don,t have a memory problem, maybe I have a Life !!:(
