For a signal to be sent to the starter, the HST pedal needs to be in the neutral position and the PTO lever needs to be disengaged. If the HST pedal interlock is slightly off, try slowly sweeping the pedal forward and backwards while holding the key in the start position. You may find that...

My bad. I read this and assumed you were swapping batteries/chargers/pumps in and out frequently and there was no mention of using a switch to disable the power before making the connections.

I don't know if I would have chosen that style for frequent connnections and connections made under load- they weren't designed for that. The Anderson SB50 connector would be ideal for this. Contacts are available for 12AWG. Here's a knockoff example-...

Buy another one. After you use it, you'll find the first one you already had.

This guy owns a snow removal company in Sault St Marie and they run nothing but inverted blowers on a fleet of mostly Kubotas. Watch through some of his videos to see how the blowers perform. Lots of good in-cab and aerial video too. https://www.youtube.com/@Stefano_Narducci/videos

I'll do you one better- I would have wrapped the stack in duct tape.

87A is the normally closed contact. 87 is the normally open contact. Power for the device (light, motor, etc...) is supplied to terminal 30 and either goes to 87A or 87 out to the device. When the relay is not energized, power is routed to 87A (normally closed, aka N.C.) When the relay is...

Same here-

Summarizing what you've said and what should be checked- For this list, I'm assuming pin 1 is +12VDC and pin 2 is ground. It could be the oter w Working from the solenoid valve back to the tractor, Solenoid valve is functional when power is directly applied to it- GOOD Continuity between...

As others have said, the good news is that function-wise it seems that everything is working. The switch, the relay, and the solenoid on the diverter valve. The bad news is that you don't have enough volts which is due to a poor connection somewhere. Judging by the corrosion on the diverter...

A warmer thermostat will not make it warm up faster. Thermostats start opening near their rated temperature. The rate an engine warms up the coolant will be the same regardless of what temperature the thermostat is rated for.

This is the shear bolt-

I haven't yet. You need to run a fused 12AWG wire to the battery sized for 20 amps.

I didn't look into this too much in depth but something like this would work. https://www.goldsupplier.com/provide/p159135500.html It's a 2-piece, 2-circuit slip ring that could be clamped onto the base of the steering wheel itself. Two circuits- one for +12VDC and one for 0VDC. No idea if the...
