Hi all,
First post - hope this is allowed here. I bought a used Kubota BX2670. Not sure of the year but it has 300 hours on it. When we bought it the first time I went to start it it wouldn't turn over. Dealer came out, said there was a loose wire on the starter and that was supposed to fix it. IT worked off and on. It's been a year now and it usually starts after some waiting but now it doesn't turn over at all except sporadically. It makes no difference if you jiggle wires, push connections, whatever. Last weekend it died when my wife was loading some gravel. She came in, said the tractor wouldn't start. I could see her trying to get it started but no luck. I went out later and it fired right up. All I did was turn the key.
I've checked for loose connections. The PTO lever is in the right position. It has 1/2 tank of fresh diesel. The battery is showing 12 volts. When I turn th key, the dash lights come on, and you can hear clicking, but the starter doesn't even try to engage. Other times, it fires right up. I'm baffled by the intermittent state of the problem. It's got to be electrical but I don't know what could be causing this or how to troubleshoot. I checked all the safety switches under the seat and they were all connected. If anybody has any ideas I would be really grateful. I'm stumped. Thanks!
