Gonna replace points, condenser, cap and rotor. How do I verify the coil with a volt meter? Thanks guys!

No spark. Put the volt meter to it, getting 12v to the positive side of the coil, nothing to the other side. It's new, or was when bought 6 years ago, never used. Defective coil? Says ABC509 12V Internally resisted on it. I'll try a replacement. What's the right coil to use? Thanks

I'll try that John. So what do I do- place the plug wire so it can ground out on metal and watch while I crank it?

Amp meter apparently dead, doesn't move at all. Ignition switch was working 6 years ago.

I've ignored my super A for 5-6 years, trying to fire it up, won't start. Been in a shed the whole time. New 12volt battery, new alternator which I bought 6 years ago and installed yesterday, paper says ADR0152Y. Negative ground. New coil, internal resistor. Wiring matches diagram I got with...

And I was warned against towing my max of 10,000 lbs with my Dodge 2500. This guy was 16,000 lbs. over. Ouch.

Thanks all. I'm going to wait and see. Tractor doesnt get a lot of use to begin with. I'm willing to tolerate a small leak for a long time and wait to fix until I'm bored enough looking for something to do.

The glow plug light on my 2003 L3430 always comes on at least a few seconds no matter the temp. I wonder if your dash light died.

That's pretty much what I figured, Hay Dude. Thanks for your input.

My 2003 L3430 4wd leaks a bit of 80/90 at the turning joint for the right wheel, not the left. Enough leaks to wet the inside of the tire a bit but not a lot. I jacked the front end up and shook the wheel and the joint has only the slightest detectable play. Checked fluid level and it only...

Stork's plows in Penn. buys used plows, refurbishes them and sells them for a lot less than new. I got a Western "pro" model from them, and even with shipping to Calif. it was around $3500 or more, then a local shop installed for $800 or so. I have a half mile of gravel road that occasionally...

Sell the tractor used, have the buyer write two checks, one to Kubota and one to you. That is, if you can sell it for more than you owe on it. If you just give it to Kubota you lose all, I think.

I recently got a 95 Dodge Ram Cummins which the previous owner had done a lot of repair on. Paid $8,000. I know I'll have to put money into it, but far less getting a new one which doesnt have as good an engine.

Romex is not rated for underground burial. Dangerous. But code does not prohibit romex in conduit, FYI. You haven't spoken about the amperage requirements for the water feature pump. Maybe the existing wire isnt big enough to begin with. Take the time and expense to put in conduit, wire and...
