Hey everyone, I'm new to the Kubota world and just bought a bx2230 from auction this summer. Had to rebuild the engine and just got it in the tractor and running. Having a couple issues and wondering if anyone might have some insight.
1.) When attempting to start the tractor, the shut off solenoid doesn't always release and I have to do it manually. It operates better for shutoff, but not 100% of the time.
2.) When moving the tractor in high gear, there is this clicking type feeling, like a shudder. Does it in forward and reverse, but once it passes a walk pace, it stops and drives great! If you release the forward petal, it comes the a shuttering stop with the same clicking feel though. I found the brakes were adjusted tighter than a banjo string and backed them off. It is easily pushed in neutral now, but still does the operating issue.
I'm wondering if maybe the brakes became hung up internally somehow from the misadjusted, or if there is another check I can do. Pto and 3pt seem to work great. 4wd goes into gear too, but haven't put it on 4 stands to verify powered front axle movement. The driveshaft spins in 2&4wd as far as I know.
3.) Someone hacked some wires and weird connectors to a 30 amp mega blade fuse right by the starter. I'm assuming Kubota has their own ignition fuse for here? Or is there a replacement I can get for it? The female connector with blades in it is still intact.
Any and all help would be great as I'm hoping to make this my little farm tractor. Thank you!
