Just to close this out, I fitted a relay as recommended. I went for this one. https://www.amazon.com/FULARR-Professional-Socket-Color-Labeled-Harness/dp/B07MR3KSWX I crimped ring connectors to the earth (85) and the high power feed (30). Then I crimped a female spade connector to the trigger...

I think you have hit on it. First, to try to check whether the battery contacts were bad, I applied my power pack directly to the red terminal on the starter and the earth and tried to start. Same result as before. If I apply 12v to the small wire running into the starter I can hear the whizz...

The starter doesn’t spin. The gear which engages the flywheel does jump forwards but nothing else happens. The flywheel can be moved by hand so isn’t stuck.

Thanks very much. I’ll give your suggestions a try.

Thanks for the guidance. When I try to crank, the voltage drops to around 11v. I do not think it is a battery issue as I have tried to start with a portable power pack connected to the battery terminals and the behavior is the same.

When I try to start my BX2200 (having removed the engine cover), I can see the starter gear move forward towards the teeth on the flywheel but that’s it. The battery shows 12.5v and I see 12.5v between the red terminal on the starter/solenoid unit and the chassis, or between the red terminal and...

Many thanks all for the advice. Have been away from home for a few days. Bridged the starter motor connections as Tooljunkie suggested and it started. To cut a long story short the in-gear inhibitor switch was stuck and I eventually was able to free it up and from there on all was good...

Hi all, Firstly, Happy Christmas. I have a problem with my BX 2200 and would appreciate your advice. It hasn't been used for a couple of months. Now, when I turn the key to the ignition position all operates as normal, then when I turn it through to start the glow plug light comes on as usual...

The arrangement you have on your tractor is that depicted in the parts manual and that I have for the rear wheels - a ring of bolts which attach the wheel to the hub. I'm away from home at the moment but will post a pic when I get home. I appreciate it's hard to understand what I'm describing...

Hi, I need to repair a tyre and to do that want to take off a front wheel. The front wheels aren't bolted to the hub as one would normally expect. Instead there is an exterior circlip on the hub with a couple of washers behind it which seem to be retaining the wheel. Even after taking them...

Thanks. Good tip on the locking pliers. Pretty much the first thing I did when I got my tractor home was take off the engine cowl and have a good look. Compared with some cars I've worked on it's a real pleasure to be able to get at nearly everything without needing treble jointed wrists.

Happy to buy the genuine Kubota parts if that's all I need to do. But before I order them if anyone else has done this or knows what kind of job it is that would be great. Thanks, Tom

Please ignore my question - found the answer on the Messick's site. It's great. Many thanks for the post.

That's great - thanks. Out of interest, do you know why there are two fuel filters?

Hi, I bought my BX2200 last year with 1,000 hrs but no service history and am working through all of the regular service items. Just about the last one to go is the fuel filter. In the operator's manual this is 'dealer only'. Although it looks like a simple inline filter it's not clear to me...
