The first ever problem in 630 hrs has hit.
Tractor will not start.. am sure it's electrical safety switch in nature.
It is sitting in the middle of my single lane road ... can I tow it (SLOWLY) backwards about 50 yards to get it out of the way until I can figure it out? I can do this with my F530 diesel dually.
I have looked in the Kubota manuals, shop manual, etc. and guess I'm blind.. can't find anywhere that towing is mentioned.
Intellipanel shows HST NEUTRAL repeatedly when I turn key to start. I get power to the intellipanel, starter does not attempt to start... I am sure it is inhibited by HST NEUTRAL safety switch. Service manual says that HST pedal needs to be returned to the neutral position (which is where it is). I've checked the HST neutral position switch with a ohmetger... it is working properly... and, I've adjusted it to make sure it's seeking to sense neutral...
Seat safety switch works properly. (ohmeter test)
clutch safety switch is working properly... intellipanel results.
PTP safety switch is working properly...intellipanel results.
net..I still have more debug do do and would like to move tractor out of the way but don't wish to damage the transmission by towning... slow and a very short distance.
what think y'all??
To tow or not to tow... that is the question!!!
