Problem fixed. My manual motor off cable had frozen in the off position. A few squirts of lock deicer and all good. Next time I leave the tractor exposed to the weather. The cab area gets covered with a tarp so snow can't land, melt and freeze cables and switches.

How can I bypass my PTO safety switch as that may be why the tractor won't fire. Turns over no problem, just won't fire. Thanks

I have an MX 5000, won't start, fresh winter fuel, pot switch off, used glow plug for 90 seconds turns over, coughed a couple of times , kill switch off. I've run out of ideas and I need to move some large square bales. Thanks.

Thanks. I did just that and all is good now. Have a safe and healthy 2018

Thanks for all of your suggestions. As it turns out, here in Ontario Canada, we use summer and winter diesel fuel. They change over in November and May. The winter fuel has the winter fuel conditioner added to the fuel. I had added a gas can full of what turned out to be summer fuel. I topped up...

Yes however, why would it start and run fine for 15-20 minutes and then start to stall under load and not rev past 1500? It's something that's changing as the tractor gets up to it's operating temperature. Frustrating.

Thanks. That makes a great deal of sense. Can a DIY guy check a lift pump or is that a dealer mechanic fix?

Whitchurch-Stouffville Ontario Canada, L4A2T7. Current temperature is +1F. Tonight's low will be -4F. High tomorrow, +3F. Eight inches of snow on the ground.

I'm having trouble figuring out why it runs fine for 15 minutes and then loses power. I'm going to try running it with the cap off and also blowing out the vent holes in the cap with compressed air. Bad fuel or a blocked line would mean that would run rough as soon as I start the tractor no? Is...

I have an MX5000. Starts fine and runs good for 15 minutes. It then wants to stall under load and won't rev past 1500. I turn it off and leave it in the cold for 90 minutes and all is well again for 15 minutes. I bled the system. fuel filter was replace 10 hours ago as well as the air and oil...

I have an MX5000 that starts fine, runs for 15 minutes snow blowing the driveway. It then loses power and won't rev over 1500. I bled the system. Nothing in the fuel bowl, brand new air, oil and fuel filters. Where is the vent for the gas tank? I cleaned out the four holes on the under side of...

Where is the stop solenoid relay? Thanks for your help.

Is the starter relay the plug attached to the starter wire? Has to prongs like a fuse.

I have a 2007 Kubota MX5000 which turns over and starts fine cold. Once at operating temperatures, if I turn it off, it will not re-start. It won't turn over, nothing. I checked all safety switches, let it stand for 10 minutes, put gear selector and range selector in neutral and it starts. I...
