I have a unique problem. The glow plug indicator stopped glowing, and the tractor would not start. I ordered a new switch, and replaced it by attaching all wires exactly as they were on the old switch. While I was doing this, I put the charger on the battery. I reconnected the battery, and when I turned the key to the left, the glow plug coil immediately glowed, then the metal coil melted. When I turned the key to the right, the wires in the fusible link above the starter burned up. The local Kubota mechanic said that an old battery, when it oges bad, may put out more than 12 volts. I brought the battery in, and it tested at 12.4 volts. I bought a new battery, replaced the fusible link with a fuse holder and a 20 amp fuse, and when I turn the key, either to the left or the right, the 20 amps fuse blows. Does the fusible link allow more than 20 amps? Is there a short somewhere? I am really baffled.
