Yes , that’s very possible. It’s a really cheap switch and the runs on the circuit board are tight. You could see where the burn marks were. Like I said, this is the second time with the same problem. Could be a Kubota screw up. Hopefully, it’s fixed now.

Well, replaced the switch with a toggle that came with a plate from Amazon for $5.95. Works great. I have wiggle the harness and examined the runs. Fuse won’t blow. I’m totally miffed at what is causing this. It’s so intermittent…

I was thinking the same thing. The harness is hard to trace. i‘ll see what I can come up with. Thanks to everybody that has replied.

I agree, I just thought maybe the original switch was defective. What’s nuts is the original switch is a 5 AMP switch. All it does is tell the relay to switch. I found a 30amp that I’ll make work. The hole for the switch is square and I can’t find anything that fits that hole. I have checked for...

Here I am in 2025 with the same issue. I haven’t taken the roof cover off as of yet, but the AC failed again in the same way. The AC worked fine since 9/23 but today it blew another fuse. Changed the fuse and the panel works but the AC switch doesn’t work. If it’s the switch again, any ideas on...

I found the issue. I was assuming it would be the relay, but it wasn’t. It was the actual switch on the control panel. I tested the switch and found it bad. Being very hesitant in thinking I found the real problem since it blew fuses at first, I checked for any potential short between the switch...

Thanks

Thanks, but it’s a M5700 and it is totally different. I have a shop manual. I wish I could find the switch diagram but I can’t find it in the shop manual. Thank you for the info. I wish it was useful in my situation.

Ok, I removed the roof and found the relays. One is for the AC/Blower and the other is for the clutch. I tested the the relay with a test rig the coil activates and the continuity is shown on a meter when its engaged. If I jump the relay terminals the clutch works so it’s good to the relay but...

I checked the circuit and the clutch seems to work fine with the test but no 12V coming in. Tomorrow, I’m removing the roof so I can get to the relay. Hopefully, I’ll find the problem there. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try today. Great info, thanks again.

I have a M5700 that keeps blowing the AC control fuse which is 5AMP. The blower and the panel suddenly stopped working (the AC light on the switch did not luminate). I replaced the fuse with another 5AMP fuse and it ran fine for a minute, then the fuse blew again. I replace the fuse again and...

I poured in 8.5 quarts like the manual stated. I own a M6800 and L4200 and I don’t have that issue if I pour in the amount the manual states. I may need to do what you suggested. I’m going to give it a good look tomorrow and see if it looks like the original dip stick.

Yes, I know how most dip sticks work. My problem is the tractor has 8.5 quarts in it and it’s no where near the top line. Every bit of info I found on the M 5700 is that it holds 8.5 quarts.

I recently changed oil in my M5700. The dip stick is not clear. It doesn't have a designated full or add mark. What I see are two lines about 2" apart . I put 8.5 quarts (which is the max it's supposed to hold) into the tractor put it only reads right above the bottom line. I'm assuming the...
