You are right it is a manual shutdown lever which engages the hand push accelerator and shuts down the engine. Will check the full movement as it says in the manual that if not fully returned to original position the engine will not start. Mistakenly interpreted this to be the choke mecanisme...

Interesting, even more so if that resolves your problem. Please update when you have a result.

Thanks Henro, this 3 cylinder tractor is over 50 years old. I don't know if it would have a fuel cut off solenoid or if it has one, where it would be located. To shut the engine down I have to press a lever down which I presume opens fully the choke to stall the engine. I intend to follow the...

I have a problem starting my tractor. It cranks well but won't fire up. It was working well a couple of days ago but now I notice that the glow plug indicator does not light up when trying to start it up. I have bled the fuel through the injectors and the fuel appears to be flowing correctly...

Thanks Ro Thanks Roadworthy for following this. You are correct with your reasoning! I think I have solved the problem now; the clutch pedal had too much play., in order to reduce this to between 20-30mm I needed to lengthen the clutch rod (named by you as the clevis). The bolt above is the...

Thanks Roadworthy, I understand the concept that you have explained. After that what parts do I adjust, the clutch rod or clutch adjusting bolt, as shown in the picture. The clutch adjusting bolt dosen't seem to make contact with anything when the clutch pedal is depressed and at the moment is...

Thanks for all your views, they are all much appreciated. Having cleaned it thoroughly I on reflection will take a chance and fit it. The whole maintenance of the tractor, although not valuable is a project of passion. If its doesn't work then I will split it again and again if necessary...

Good info and reassuring comments. Thanks folk. Baking in the oven , New idea which I will consider. Nice to have all your support out there.

Hi all, Made a clumsy move when trying to fit a new clutch assembly to my kubota B1500 tractor. As a result the unit fell into a bowl containing engine oil soaking the whole assembly. Within seconds I retrieved the unit and quickly wiped it down, removing all the oil I could see. The new clutch...

Thanks Dan, your info is just the ticket and very much appreciated. Art

Hi all, Having split my kubota zb1500dt tractor to replace the rear engine crankshaft seal and replacing a clutch, I am now putting it all together again. Does anyone know what torque I need to apply to the bolts that screw into the crankshaft seal holder. The bolts are marked 7 on the head. Any...
