    New guy on the block crank no start B7200

    OK folk, it runs! The answer is a two parter. One involves extreme ineptitude on my part, and one is simple, once you know it, but it took me all this time to figure it you. The first part involves the new key switch I installed (owner had it on the shelf, but not installed, because the old...

    OK, now I'm bummed. That's about where the fuses are located on the one I'm working on but the fuse holders are different. Somewhere along the way someone probably changed the glass tube fuses for more modern blade fuses. And here I thought I had a possible road to go down. I'll check them...

    I'm back. Had about 30 minutes of free time to work on it today. I can now pull the steering wheel and unbolt the instrument panel in just a few minutes, so I got that goin' for me! Anyway, I started tracing wires in the glow plug circuit - thanks cb750 - . I was doing this with no battery...

    OK friends, I'm back, and the plot thickens. Thanks for your help so far! So, I got a new glow plug indicator, and installed it. I'm getting good at taking the dash panel off to access the back.... I installed it with no battery in the tractor, so I wouldn't accidentally short something...

    Thanks guy, I've ordered the glow plug indicator. I figure that's about my last hope before I tell the owner to call a shop. In my head I think that this is one thing which could just plain fail between one session of running fine, and then a few weeks later it won't start. At least I know...

    I have really good cranking speed, so I don't think that is an issue. Battery is relatively new and I'm keeping it charged. Cables are in good condition. I just ordered a glow plug indicator, although I doubt that will change anything. I don't have a compression tester for a diesel, and I'm...

    Well, I was all excited to try this, but.....no joy just now. Did my best to bleed the snot out of it. Cracked all 3 lines and cranked. Fuel coming out the tops of the three injectors in small spurts. Closed one line while cranking, cranked some more and closed second line while cranking...

    OK Kubota whisperers, I'm back, and I'm pulling what little hair I have left out. I have verified that the lift pump _seems_ to be working. I replaced the fuel line from the filter to the lift pump. - old one was crispy but was not blocked. I get pulses of fuel out of the lift pump up to the...

    Thanks Wolfman and others, at least I have a direction to go in now. I'll report back when I know more. And OK, no more starting fluid! I don't think the engine is damaged because it never popped even once.

    Hi folks, just joined. Sorry for this long post. I have read a bunch of threads on this, but still……I'm a decent DIY mechanic with lots of automotive experience and I owned a diesel car for a long time. My neighbor's husband passed away and they have a B7200, 4WD which will not start. Don't...
