sudden engine stop B2650

[gravelman]

My Kubota B2650, 2016 year suddenly shut down while driving along. Still have ignition redlight and glow plug light on dash, nothing else lights up I checked fuses and as many connections as ii could see/reach, all look ok. Will not turn over either. Any suggestions?? No i am not a mechanic... thanks all

check and make sure your battery cables are still tight, but not be allowing enough amps through if they are loose.

battery connections are tight, good thought tho

Safety switchs?Seat ,neutral ect.Start by putting in neutral,brake on,FEL down,PTO off.

 

[gravelman]

WILL DO THAT...thanks... and will report back

all switches seem to be fine....no cut wires, no pto on, hd in neutral etc. i have had safety switch problems in the past but the dash board sill lit up , dash board does NOT light up now. Just the little red light for ignition and glow plug if i move to that. I hear no clicking, nothing. Has to be electrical im guessing.

or corroded which is very common.

Mine will die if I lift up off the seat. That would be what I would work first. And it may be a status indicator for that stuff. Good luck sir and you will find it

 

[gravelman]

ok on that... i got no dashboard lights or indicators... that has never happened before

You have definitely lost it somewhere. Wiring is really solid on these machines. I feel sure you have already bugun the fuse checking process and I hope you find the culprit there. You know there are some circuit boards that process the inputs to the out puts, and I hope the problem isn’t there because they are costly.

If original battery, try boosting it, or remove battery and have it “load tested” at any garage…
However my guess is a battery cable, especially the ground cable. Remove both ends and clean post and frame with sandpaper. When reattaching apply dielectric grease at each end and then fasten securely. Keep us posted…

i came to a dead end as i am not a mechanic...i have a service company coming this week. Fingers crossed. I also don't think it can be towed??? Maybe a short pull on a flatbed if they need to bring it to the shop Thanks for all the suggestions and you are right...i have had very few problems with this machine.

 

[gravelman]

Battery is fine...all lights , heater, ac work fine. I checked the connections, all clean and tight. Im convinced it is electrical and a breaker or fuse.

 

[Robin Veerman]

Report back. Good luck…

 

[gravelman]

Yes, i will, reporting on these things helps us all. As we all know, there will be a "next time" too.

update... my tractor has Operator Presence Control system (OPC) in other words safety shut offs. Anyhow, that 5 amp fuse was blown for that system....and it blew after applying the parking brake. Have not gone looking yet for where a wire is being scuffed or what is causing the fuse to go out but it has something to do with setting the brake and not a general wiring problem. More later
