Kubota Starting Problems

Was asked to take a look at this problem and was solved by installing Starter Relay Kit That he bought from john deer but will work on any tractor I would think. what I found was that not enough voltage was not getting to the starter was only reading 10 volts some times, but would work sometimes, this will solve your problem.

Thanks, got one for my B2100.... VERY helpful to see someone going thru the paces. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@peckerwood6078]

It's a good demo video and will be doing this with my neighbours tractor!

[@susanbryan1865]

Thanks so much, we have been battling this problem for over a year. Taken it to a dealer and they had no problem with starting. Put in the new relay and haven't had a problem since.

I had the same issue with my BX2230, I ordered the part from Amazon for $24.99 . It corrected the problem, just had to make a few minor adjustments for the wiring connector. She starts every time now!😊 You make a good clear, easy to understand video. Thanks for sharing this video, the headache is gone!

Sincere thanks Ron - had issues today - battery good - key switch worked for glow plugs - but did nothing in next position for starter. Solution after listening to you - turn key for glow plugs 10 sec - the use screw driver to jump at starter solenoid between positive battery and ignition flat lead - giving full battery to starter vs relying on less power coming from key switch. Two hours wasted trying other stuff. So your idea of a momentary push button switch will be my go to mod for kicking the starter. I’ll continue to use the key to prewarm glow plugs. Thanks again for your video

Thanks! Had the same symptoms with my ZD28 mower, install was very similar. Huge help.

Just replaced ignition switch to address same issue on Kubota 3710HST. Likely not the right fix - may try this next. Thks.

awesome info

[@JimMicheleKuleszaFamily-zi5tq]

Just installed on Kubota bx2230. Just note that the starter solenoid has a male end. The harness also is male, so you have to cut the wire and put a female on. No big deal. This works very well!

[@davidratley9362]

Thanks, worked like a charm.

what a great presentation- I have a Kubota L4310 hst- and sometimes it starts and sometime not- the Kubota told me to that the safety switches are in the PTO lever or the clutch- he said to keep the starter switch engaged and keep engaging the clutch or and keep moving the pto lever- not working- will this kit solve my problem? HELP I have my tractor sold

I have a small Kubota tractor like this with the same problem. The tick tick tick. It took me HOURS to take the solenoid off. That was the most aggravating place to get an allen wrench into...and yeah it had to be an allen wrench wtf. So I’m replacing the solenoid out of principal now that I have it off after so much struggling. Next I’ll do this or a new starter if it still doesn’t crank.

Older Kubota's have a momentary contact for glow plugs in the ignition switch you turn the key CCW for glow plug only , Than as usual CW to start and disabling glow plugs... maybe install a igntion switch from an older tractor.

[@paulbecker6124]

I've just been reaching down and lining up the starter gear with the fly wheel and mine starts. But this makes sense. It doesn't have enough power to self align.

[@lynnthompson9653]

Fixed my G1800 👍

[@moodondie]

Any update as of 9/17/22, has the problem ever come back since the fix? Great video too!

[@stevebrooks1110]

Have the same issue with my b2400 kubota. Can you do a video on hooking up a momentary switch?

[@ezyjack826]

we have a BX1860 that isn't starting. when we turn the key we don't get any activity on the dash (lights or gauges). would that be consistent with this issue? is there a way to test if this is the problem before ordering the kit? ty

[@SlackerU]

I'm only getting 10v too but on a 70s-series. My PTO switch is always causing issues. So I need to find the weak wire/connector dropping too many volts.

[@nicholaslott6163]

Where can I get this part from? I have the same lawn tractor in the video.
