To check the safety switch on the starter of a Kubota tractor, first ensure the tractor is in neutral and the parking brake is engaged. Locate the safety switch, typically near the starter or under the operator's seat. Use a multimeter to test for continuity; if there is no continuity when the switch is engaged, it may need to be replaced. Additionally, inspect the wiring for any damage or loose connections.
There are many. PTO. Seat. HYD drive peddle. Neutral.
I am not a motor head, and have only worked on a MF231 once when one of the safety switches went bad, but here is what i learned: When my tractor failed to start (failed to engage the starter), my first thought was that the starter had gone bad. I removed the starter and had it tested. Starter was confirmed good, so i reinstalled the starter and started testing the safety switches. Under the steering column, in a little opening on top of the main tractor case slightly inset on the starter side (right side if you're sitting behind the wheel). If you remove both of those leads and set either a test light or a multimeter up to test 12vdc, you should see 12vdc or your test light light up on one side of this neutral safety switch as the key is turned. Obviously if the tractor is in neutral this voltage should pass through to the other terminal, if its in neutral and you are not getting voltage through it then look at replacing the switch. If the starter and the neutral safety switch test good, (as it played out in my specific issue) then there is one more switch that can prevent the tractor from getting 12vdc to the starter. Look at the pto shifter knob, when the pto is engaged it will be all the way up (if your sitting in the seat), put it back in neutral and look toward the bottom of the shifter arm, you will see a bracket that when in the up position it depresses a plunge type switch. Pull the leads off of the back of that switch and it should test the same. When you have the key turned you should have light or 12vdc on one of the 2 leads, when connected and of course in neutral, this voltage should pass through to the other lead if the switch is good. If you have no voltage on either lead, check the ignition switch. As far as my issue, i jumpered the pto safety switch (not even sure that is what its called) from lead to lead and my tractor fired right up. Good luck with your troubleshooting!
jump the starter solnoid, if it will crank , turn key on and jump again, if it starts then key switch is ok it would be the starter solnoid that's bad,
They are dark purple. It goes from the ignition switch to the neutral safety switch to the starter.
Make sure the tractor is out of gear, press down on the clutch all the way down as it has a safety switch. Make sure the PTO lever is in the up positionas this also has a safety switch. Turn the key and she should start. If its cold turn the key, anticlockwise to give it some pre-heat for about ten to 20 seconds depending on the weather.
Either your starter solenoid, if not check the neutral safety or clutch safety switch.
no. it connects to the solenoid
Your neutral safety switch-try putting car in neutral and trying it
To disable the seat switch on a Husqvarna tractor, you can locate the seat switch connector under the seat and unplug it. Alternatively, you can bypass the switch by connecting the wires directly, but this is not recommended for safety reasons. Always ensure that the tractor is turned off and disconnected from power before attempting any modifications, and consider the safety implications of disabling this feature.
No
the wire is Yellow coming out of the ignition switch going to the Neutural safety switch, then purple from the neutual safety switch to the starter
There is no such thing on a vehicle that early.
