Kubota B6100 HST wont Crank

[Gmeyer]

my historically reliable B6100 wont even crank. Glow plug light goes on, clutch is depressed and battery is fully charged but it wont even turn over. Help....

Check the obvious stuff first....make sure the PTO isn't engaged and that the machine is in neutral (or however you configure it for a normal start)....lots of folks have had the PTO switch get bumped without realizing it. If those don't fix it, you'll have to figure out how many safety cutout switches it has (or someone here will know) and test them.

Check both ends of the battery cables as well as the other connections.

Have you tried hot wiring the starter to bypass the ignition switch from the circuit?

Check all safety switches -- seat, clutch, pto, etc -- before moving on to the more complicated stuff.

There may be only one safety switch and that is on the clutch?

Ok. Made sure the PTO wasn't engaged, and battery cables were in tact on both ends and still nothing. Where are the clutch and other safety switches located?

Thanks

Did you clean the cable ends?

Clutch switch should be around the clutch pedal.

There may be a fuse under the instrument cowling.
