Just corrected my profile. Sorry about that.

Yeah...it was a great idea and a great name for a "slow food" farm, but it just didn't work out. I'm no small business man and I guess I'm not cut out to be a small scale farmer either.

I'm back to work in the IT arena...and actually moving back to the city unfortunately.

Sir,

I am VERY sorry to hear that... I'm dreaming of something small scale, like duck eggs, my daughters can run and learn powerful lessons, and make people healthier.

And I hope NEVER to return to living in the city...

But I've been a computer geek for 30 years, it is all I know how to do (that will pay well enough to keep us afloat).

Be well,
David

Hi Keith, I will have to wait until I get home, but I might have some info that could help you.
yes I was confused by the Kubota listing. As you can see I have a DK35sehst now also.

Note: A little bitterness and venting here...my daughter learned that small town people are very intolerant of outsiders and people with different styles and skin colors. The racism was outright UGLY. This is but one of a myriad of reasons we are headed back to the city. If she was vanilla white, wore Carharts, cowboy boots and wranglers I doubt we'd have had any problems. Maybe we chose too small a town, but we checked it out pretty in depth ahead of time and it seemed to be a very family oriented and close knit community. Turned out to be too "close knit".

Anyhow...we had such a great place, and a few great neighbors. Will certainly miss the peace and quiet, the blanket of stars at night. I'm already mourning leaving behind my flock of 30 free range chickens that follow me around the like pied piper, my free range Royal Palm turkeys, etc, etc, etc.

Here are some pics to enjoy if you like:
Picasa Web Albums - Slow Belly Farm

15 Acres of the total 105 are about to go up for sale (Kioti DK35 and a few implements included!). Two homes, an amazing garden plot, ponds, fences, workshop, garages. It's a dream place for someone to pick up for a bargain.

Ok you have another tool now..here is how I would go about it. right or wrong this is what I would do.

I believe fuse 1 the 60 amp fusible link to be good you you would have nothing, no light no buzzes etc.
find the start relay listed as relay 2 I think it is on the firewall find the 3Millimeter orange wire going into it coming from connector 003 and make sure it has 12 volts standing on it at all time.. even with key off. The the non moving contact of the start relay. find the .85 millimeter Light Blu? =LB wire coming from the PTO safety relay going to the start relay and with the hydrostat range safety switch or clutch switch if its a gear model. made by being in neutral or pushed in. and the key switch turned to start position you should have battery voltage going into the high side of that start relay coil.. If you do, and the coil does not click the contact to send power to the "bendix" solenoid to engage the starter, (measure for voltage headed to the starter solenoid. which is a 3MM red wire going to connector 12) you have a bad starter relay, replace it.. If you have no voltage on the light blue wire than head back towards the PTO safety relay the G and F terminals and determine if the safety relay is pulled up by either the automatic or the manual position of the PTO switch. it should be relaxed and the switch should be in neutral to start. Now go back to G and F the PTO safety relay, which if relaxed is just passing voltage straight thru and keep going back to connectors 061 fed by a Blue White .85MM wire or maybe black white, I have never found their wire color legend, but something blue brown, black with a white tracer this heads for the safety switch of the hydrostat range selector or the clutch, of course it should be straight thru, and then on up to the ST terminal on the key switch. It should have battery voltage on it From the AM terminal when you are in start position.. or you can start there. and work forward or.. from what you have described with dim lights and buzzy relays.. I am thinking it is a broken high resistance ground cable or positive cable.. I would yank the heck out of both and and wiggle well and would not be suprized to see one come off in your hand. Let us know your method of attack, and what you have found..

Me too. I still think it is a high resistance joint issue, as they often are.. now that the battery is out of the running for the culprit..

Good luck with it. I am going back out in the heat to weld up my spare bucket. I found a nasty crack in the factory weld of cutting edge to side cutting piece today. and have been prepping it for welding.. It is darn hot today. This is my Kubota bucket not my new Kioti bucket. I will post it up with pix when it is all done.
