This is Sherry from April 12th, 24, it was that Seat Safty Switch, but I couldn't get the wires out, so I just took the whole thing out. It's like a Round plastic disk, and the inside of it had like a donut on a spring, I held it in( as if I were sitting on it, my tractor started right up, but when I put it in gear to move , the engine died ?? Uhmm? So I got some Zip ties and tighten them up to suck in that donut on a spring . And it's perfect now! Starts right up!! I am so Happy! !!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the way you take time to explain things , YOU are GREAT !!!!!!
Great to hear you got it going!
Great video thank you for sharing. I checked voltage at the battery but not the security of the connections, loose ground connection was my problem. Sometimes you just have to slow down and check the basics.
Bad grounds are so frustrating!
Saved me a headache. Was about to replace my battery, turned out I just needed to re-engage my brakes better. Great video!
great tips for us out here. thank you
Mine was because the damn pedals was pushed in a bit 😂 thanks man this really helped
Glad it worked out!
I will check the box on the fuses...thanks
I’ve had clutch safety switches go bad on tractors and usually Late 80’s early 90’s Fords I had to get creative growing up on the farm out in the hayfield miles from home and we didn’t have cell phones then but I would use wire or wrench to jump the starter from the solenoid and splice the safety switch together so I would use house wire copper and it usually worked
Checking your safeties is every machine! I have a hood down safety!
You really deserved to be thanked!!👍👍💞💞👊👊
Oh and don’t forget to check your fuel is full, turned on and fuel filter isn’t clogged 👍
Man... that's the FIRST thing i shoulda mentioned!
BX23 displayed “battery voltage” and “engine oil pressure” after just taking trailer off hitch and wouldn’t start.
Ugh. I bumped the PTO getting off.
I was checking totally different stuff 2022 and before but now moving forward in 2023 I will check this stuff
I'm gonna get with my psychic advisor and post a 2024 edition next week
It was my PTO!! Thanks!!!
Get out there and bust somethin!
"safety" systems that fail so often that they convince owners / operators to bypass them ARE DESIGNED WRONG by the manufacturer.
These machines get so gritty and dirty, I'm surprised that the switches and electrical on them don't go down more often
Thanks brother I appreciate it, hope it helps, headed back out to the woods where the tractor stalled.
Any luck?!

Yes, i bent the bar that has a spring attached to it for one of the hydrostatic pedals, it was not engaging the safety switch, bent it back and it fired right up.
@Tracy-Inches nice! Glad you got er figgered out!
Mika? Did u see that the dealership in Challis mechanic told me that seat Safety switch has nothing to do with the tractor not srarting ???? Its hard for me to believe that ??
SOME tractors need the operator presence to be depressed in order to start. Others don't. Might just be some electrical gremlins in there causing some issues...
Need to do a video on an older tractor. I have a 2008 New Holland that is dead in the middle of the field. Worked great for over two hours and it died. Found a blown 15a fuse. Replace and it started then died again but the 5 a fuse blew.
I might not use WD-40 for electrical connectors. But still a great video.
Good call. I guess i should have specified WD40 for electrical. Dries a bit faster
Unless you have a 1970 574 with a burned out gauge wires and you only got starter and key wired up lol I think that’s why I was thinking when I got a newer tractor I thought it was a Cadillac. I had to park my old Longs on a little hill and drift start them and they would run all day raking lower hp I think Korean tractors but paper got both for two baby bull calves in spring I think growing up and working on the farm should be a class offered at schools and vegetable gardens cause I remember planting 3-5000 tomatoes plants and lots of other produce and we would be able to sale in strip district in summer to all the restaurants and we were 100% organic I think we would do about everything and that was after working in the machine shop for 8 hours first I was taught the value of hard work and labor and I believe it’s the best lessons I learned in my child hood til teenager years and then I was tasked with harder jobs and little cousins or siblings you would train at least we had a kicker on our square bailer and we were able to buy 10 new heavy duty metal wagons
I watched this yesterday and guess what, I got to my seat and sure enough I wiggled that wire and then jumping around then I tryed to start it , now it's turning over over and over again. But I can not get it to start and that wire has like a plastic cap if I can get that off can I spray it with wd40. Thanks Sherry
No crank ! Not "no start" ....damn it !
Excellent.
my tractor was running and i have to jump off to disengage the break because a spring or something is missing.
it died 1 second later while i was half way to getting back on the seat and wouldn't start.
Okay Mika, another question , if it is indeed my seat safety thing! And I think it is contrary to Pape,, could it possibly be because I have it zip tied 24/7 for the last few days, could that have caused that Sensors Fuze to go Bad ???
Thank you Mica
Make a video on kioti running fine shuts down now just turns over getting no fuel bc a shot of start fluid she kick off leaning to soilnoid for fuel
I have a new La 526. I'm getting a big click at the starter but it will not turn over. I'm concerned the motor is Frozen is there a way to turn it over manually?
Well, it looks like I got to check all those things. I got the instrument panel lit and not even a click from the key.
Any luck?
@@HomesteadBandwagon I took the seat off and the cushion underneath was wet from the 2 days rain. The switch was damp and the two blue wires on the harness to the switch were frayed about an 1/8th from the connector.
@@Bart12349 sounds like you found yer culprit. Nice.
@@HomesteadBandwagon I found a second problem. Neutral switch was bad. I jumped the harness and started up good. Good thing a Massey dealer had my New Holland switch. The neutral switch screws into the casting of the block to left under the seat. Two red wires connect to harness.
Hello! I have an L3430 Kubota tractor. It’s been sitting for over a year in my barn. I’ve tried starting it and it wouldn’t even turn over. Headlights and dash lights don’t turn on. I’ve checked all fuses and put in new battery and nothing. Only lights that turn on are the hazard lights. All wires seem to be good I don’t see anything terribly wrong with it. Barely has 100 hours on it. Please help me
Will the machine jumpstart if you connect the jumpers to the starter? If so, you might have a bad ground or a bad ignition switch...
Check Raleigh.
How to lift up tractor seat for Koiti
Hi Again, this is Sherry, so I had that sensor problem, I zip tied that sensor, and operated my tractor just fine for two days, then today April 20th 2024, it would not start again, I tryed squeezing that sensor and it tryed to turn over, anyway make a long story short I called the service Dept at Pape Machine in Chehalis, Washington. DON said that the Safety Srnsor has NOTHING TO DO with the Tractor not Starting !!!!
So what do you think of that?? I said NO I think you are wrong !!, he said they start the tractors all of the time when they are just standing next to them!!! So now I am LOST AGAIN !! SO can I please ask you another question ?? At some time , ( my tractor is a 2016 3032E with 144 hours) I see,looking at the Battery, that someone had tryed to use a Screw Driver to get the Negative post off?? It has Gouges in the Post and on the Terminal !!! Could that per chance cause problems getting it started ??? Thank you so much !!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Glo plug lights up on dash but no response when I turn the key
New holland workmaster 33. Starts then dies in 2 seconds. Will try to rev high after you start it a few times. Any idea?
My knee jerk reaction would be to look at the fuel filter and see if there's been water contamination. But that's just one of a lot of possibilities. Super frustrating when a machine will tease you like that.
@HomesteadBandwagon I found the issue with the fuel shut off/ thottle actuator on the back of the injection pump.
That's what I was looking for, 80 miles from a dealer
Get it all worked-out?
I've tried all of these things. Cycled the pto switch a hundred times. Pulled the seat switch, tried leaving the switch open, tried shorting it closed... Brake switch still sends screech signal when disengaged so seems fine, no switch on the hst that I can find and forward matches reverse. Neutral is in neutral. New battery. New starter relay. Pulled every fuse, cleaned off corrosion and reinserted. Jumped the starter, solenoid and starter both work just fine (but it won't start even then). Hour meter still turns on with the dash, every other thing seems to function (signals, lights, glow plugs, etc) but turn the key and no click, no start. Tried plugging an obd reader into the port under the ignition cover but my reader doesn't seem to work with the tractor. Ls xg3140. It happens to be in a difficult spot so bringing it in is not ideal
Brand new 5320. Won't even "jump start" no sound. No nothing
That's frustrating. We had one like that in the shop that mystified everyone. In the end, we found the connection between the main wiring harness and the ECU(?) at the front of the engine wasn't fully connected. It looked like it was, so it was the last thing anyone checked. We completely disconneded and reconnected the harness and the machine started right up!
@HomesteadBandwagon thanks. This tractor is 2 weeks old. So would hope not, but we are stumped.
@@chriswahlgren5713 i guess it's better to get the kinks out of the system early?
