Did this happen all at once or was there any symptoms before lights out? I have found more times than not its usually the ground. Try running a temporary ground with jumper cables from battery to good ground. If that doesn't work get a voltage tester and start tracing.

I think tooljunky is right about the starter, if the solenoid is engaging when you turn the key then doesn't that mean the circuit is complete? Also 12.4 volts may be a tad on the low side as I have seen a 12 volt battery at 13 plus volts when fully charged. Oh I would also put a load test on...

I would first check all your fluid levels to see if a lot is missing, sounds like the cylinders are flooded and that might be why it won't turn over.

It may in fact be a clogged filter, but don't rule out a bad sensor. I have a case wheel loader at work that had the same issue and turned out to be the sensor. We first changed the filter but the light continued to come on periodically so we changed the sensor and wahlah!

your tractor should be able to connect to a Kubota BH76 attachment backhoe

I am wondering if a skid steer pallet fork attachment will connect to my Kubota m5140 loader. The skid steer the forks were used on a bobcat. The couplers look similar in the pictures on them, has anyone tried hooking up to one.

If you leave your tractor out in the sun and not under cover when you're not using it will fade or sun rot. If you have a automotive paint store near by they can match up the color, of course it will be a little pricey but it has UV protectors to prevent the sun rot.

the three point control lever started getting a lot harder to move yesterday while I was using my three point snow blower on a M5140. Is there any lube spots that I need to do?

it may be gelled, but if it started running ruff and now you have black smoke it could be a faulty injector.

If I were a betting man I would suspect a bad injector.

It is in fact your auxiliary control

Well I charged the battery and took it out and it stalled twice in 15 minutes. I then unhooked the neg battery cable from the frame connection and cleaned it and it was noticeably dirty. I then went out and brush hogged for about an hour and it ran fine and hasn't stalled since!

Thanks for the reply North Idaho Wolfman, I just ordered a wsm from Messicks as I'm a little nervous to start pulling the solenoid out without first looking over the manual. In the meantime I am charging my battery as I noticed the indicator was black not green. If I pull out the solenoid what...

The M5140 will run when your off the seat, I'm thinking it might be the fuel solenoid shutoff. Tonight I changed the fuel filter, wiggled the wire connection to the fuel solenoid. I then pulled it outside and ran it around and it did it three times in a half hour.

Lately when I am using my m5140 it will periodically stall, maybe once every half hour. It will be running fine then just quit like someone shut off the switch then almost as soon as it stalls I can here a click under the hood and I restart it and it runs fine. Any suggestions?
