b2910 Safety Switch off hydo pedal off center

[nhman]

Looking for a kubota mechanic or someone who knows all about his b2910.

There's a switch/plunger way under the tractor that has to be depressed by the hydo pedal for the tractor to start. The switch/plunger screws on to a y bracket and is held on by two bolts in the front and back of the switch. Well the bolts are loose and the switch moves out of alignment with the piece of the gas pedal linkage that keeps the plunger depressed and allows the tractor to start.

It is very difficult to get to the plunger switch, I can kind of move it back into alignment when it gets out of line with my fingers by reaching up to it. But there is no way I can get a wrench up into the linkage to tighten the bolts. Looks like I have to disassemble some pipes and take off the rear wheel to try to get at it.

two questions

1. Has anyone just disconnected the switch? I see where I can remove the cladding under the front of the seat and get to the wires, and it looks like its just disconnecting the plastic plug ins. DOes this work, or do you have to wire it together.

2. Has anyone figured out a way to get at this plunger to tighten it up without removing parts?

Never messed with that switch. But a switch is either normally open or normally closed. That one is probably normally open...

I checked the wiring diagram. Looks like you have to connect the wires to complete starting circut. Not much help in WSM on Switch. When the neutural position is set on tractor. Then switch is adjusted to be tripped.

If your talking about the switch on the rocker pedal you can get to it from under the tractor deck. At least I could get at mine on my B7800 I believe its the same. Mine was acting up it would not start. I disconnected the plug and made a jumper wire and it will bypass that rocker switch.

Thanks to those who responed. I got it fixed yesterday with a neighbor's help. He has a landscaping business and can fix anything. He owns 3 kubotas. Ended up having to take the rear wheel off and remove some linkage to get to it. Very difficult to get to...
