A year ago, I purchased a used Kubota 7500 from a guy who does buying and selling on the side. When I bought this tractor, he had just gotten it in and sold it to me the next day. The guy, who is not a dealer, told me the one issue it had was that it needed a new fuel shutoff solenoid. He said the way I could shut it off was to lower the throttle, turn the key off and then pull the engine stop switch below the key. Sure enough that will stop the engine without any issues. However, now a year later, i was considering fixing the issue and was researching the cost and availability of the part. When I called the local dealer, he said he spoke to one of the mechanics who told him this model IS shut down by pulling the Engine shut off switch, not by just turning the ignition key off... can anyone confirm this? If its supposed to shut down using just the key, then I will fix it or have it fixed over the winter but it seems a bit unusual to not be able to just use the key to shut it down, especially since I had an older model Kubota that shut down using just the key.. thanks for any information or help...
