Bad news big repair

[ArtMech]

I have bought multiple new tractors from them, but I am well past 3 years. It’s a 2010.

Make a call or send an email message to the customer care dept. of Kubota. They have answered even to my question although I'm located on the other part of globe. Tell them your situation, I don't believe they won't help.

I'd think after 19 pages you'd figure out the answers you want aren't here.

Actually it would be just the opposite. I’m hoping there will be a few others who think outside the box. A few suggestions were submitted to repair the ECU. My own thought that the plug could have corrosion and other suggestions.

Rick, Sometimes it takes more than a few days for respondents who know more than the ”wire up a switch” technique, which is an obvious easy way out and has been insisted by you in your 12-15 posts. I could have done last year with wire and a relay in my shop. It works, but I don’t prefer that way because I’d rather fix the factory system, which you obviously don’t get.
But then again, a plug-in block heater has been suggested a dozen times, too, even though its known I don’t have winter access to electricity.

"So I’m out of answers. Any thoughts on other possible avenues to pursue?"
That's a copy and paste from your post #1. So don't tell me what you prefer. Just get busy and fix it. Check all those connections, ohm out the relevant conductors, take all the suggestions others have given and figure it out. Or take it back to the dealer and tell them to do all that and replace the ECU if necessary.
Did you call Ag Express today to see if they could test or repair that ECU like I suggested privately?

The old diesel engines never had glow plugs. We used to stuff a newspaper up the air intake and set fire to it. The hot air works better than any glow plugs.

I have. Last year and this year. Everything checks out that I can test as well as a kubota dealer.
Chill out man.… Just because I already know about an easy fix back a year ago, you don’t have to get so angry. Everyone knows the wire up a switch method to the GPs.
Im hoping for help/suggestions to get the factory system working again. It may not happen, but that’s why I’m asking. To eliminate any other possibilities. There’s a lot of smart people here. I have already been PMd by a few with some good suggestions other than yours.

I like keeping factory oem crap the way it is also but if the factory gives u free KY jelly for $6000. Then have at it. Like the $20 relay and diode option

Agree.
The $6000 solution was offered by the dealer, not me.
That’s why I posted the thread, to see if there’s something the dealer and me haven’t thought of. No way I’m spending $6000 on an ECU.
I didn’t know if the ECU could be repaired or if there’s something I overlooked, like corroded wires to the ECU.
Going to check for corroded wires next week. Once that’s done, the only thing left is a bypass homemade system.

Another largely undiscussed issue is this could just be the beginning of problems. The ECU could begin to lose other vital functions, so just wiring up a switch could be the least of my worries.

Lets hear them, post up the suggestions that have be PM'd to you.

Funny, yesterday you said you needed to check the ECU connection for corrosion. That's an excellent thought. Maybe if you ever get over your blind indignation about me still walking around and breathing you'll look at it. You might want to go back over yesterday's activity here and actually do some of the stuff you said needed doing.
I'll answer your PM here. You came out of the gate today attacking me for a factual non confrontational post (which I immediately provided actual substantiation for). You then insult your own intelligence by asking why I am angry? I simply have a low tolerance for people that change their version of reality based on what day it is.
