Expert's Assistant chat

Customer: Our tractor won’t start after driving in mud and washing the exterior. It clicks when key is turned. The battery had been checked and is working. Any easy ideas?
JA: Sometimes things that you think will be really complicated end up being easy to fix. The Heavy Equipment Mechanic I'm going to connect you with knows all the tricks and shortcuts.
Customer: Thanks
JA: Are you fixing this yourself? What have you tried so far?
Customer: My husband is trying to figure out the problem and will probably be calling Kubota about repair/troubleshooting. The only thing tried was to jump the battery, then removed the battery an took it a local Batteries Plus store that said there was nothing wrong. We are in the middle of moving, so things are a little hectic I know nothing about tractors and my husband is out of pocket. I though I would give it a shot.
JA: Anything else you want the Agriculture Mechanic to know before I connect you?
Customer: Maybe I should forward this sit to my husband and have him ask about this.

It’s a Kubota tractor. I’ve mashed down the lever under the seat and I have checked the PTO lever. It just clicks once when I turn the key.

Customer

Any idea on what this could be?

Hi, I'm Wayne.

I'll be assisting you with this issue today.

Thank you for coming to Just Answer

Your Question is as important to us as it is to you.

I am sorry to hear you are having this issue.

What he needs to do, is use a shop air compressor and unplug and air dry

all the connections in the wire harness, safety switches, and the fuse box.

If he does not have an air compressor, Borrow wife's hairdryer( Sorry Mam).

I hope this helps you.

Sorry you have the wrong guy. I asked about a tractor.

Customer

Maybe you have the right guy. Are you talking about a Kubota tractor?

Customer

where is the wiring harness?

wtolkson, Expert

HI,

Yes I am. The one drove through the mud and then power washed.

Customer

Sorry. Where is the wiring harness on that tractor? I'm not a major mechanic.

wtolkson, Expert

HI,

The harness is the wiring that runs through the machine, that branches off and hooks to the starter, and all the electrical on the machine.

What is the model of the Tractor?

Wayne

Customer

Kubota 32 something. It's my brother's. I think I can find that. I'll check it out. Thanks for the help.
