    Thanks Randy, that helps some. But the wires on my connectors are different colors. on the the mower i have 3 white, 1 red. the 491 doesn't have a fuel solenoid and the service manual says it has a 3 amp unregulated charging circuit. so i'll use a multimeter to determine which of the 3 whites...

    Need Help Diagnosing Electrical Problems

    Over the years, when I'm not using my 1986 L2550 Kubota that much, I'd find the battery dead. So I just put a battery disconnect and trickle charger on and let it go.

    Bucket for Kubota B/L 4530B backhoe

    Hi, I've got an older backhoe, probably new around 1986, Kubota B/L 4530B 7 1/2 foot with a 16 inch bucket. I've got a lot of trenching to do and considering getting a 10 inch bucket. Will buckets from a newer backhoe work. Thanks. Bruce
