need TC40DA pto safety switch picture

[wolfpack2]

Looking at the pictures you attached, it would appear that there is a Scotch-Lock used to jumper the two wires on the switch. If you remove the jumper, the switch should again prevent starting until you reinstall the switch back to the proper location. You will also need to repair the damage the jumper has caused to the wires.

The manual says it is for a TC40DA. I'll have to look at the specifics when I get home. I saw a date on the manual. And, I'll get the serial number off the tractor. I'll have to pass the number by Messicks from here on TBN, or call Dolk Tractor(they are in Rio Vista, about an hour and 20 minutes from me).

I'll take a picture of the dash too, just to get a reference.

The dealer the tractor originally came from has changed from mulitple line to just Kubota. They are only 35 minutes from me

I wrote wrong in previous message; I think the manual I got is a for an older TC40DA. But, I'm new to NH, so not sure about that, as is obvious by my questions I could tell you about anything you want to know about a Kubota B8200 though... After 11 years, I knew it inside and out.

Did they get you a manual for the TC40A? My tach definitely does not have any markings for 540 rpm, but I can't be sure what yours is without looking. What year did you say it was? 2005? Hmm....

Yes. Probably have to cut and splice solder, then heat shrink. ScotchlLock are bad about that...

My dash

I got the serial number and the Unit number. Any idea what the unit number means? Will make some calls/emails tomorrow.

The manual, says 2003, 11/03.

2003 a good guess; need serial number on trans housing

 

[RobertN]

It says it is a unit#0B13D, Tractor#G506263

No matter what the manual says, your dash is just like mine; I checked photos I have of my dash. In my last post I mentioned that the PTO ON light was on the left, but it is obviously on the right (the larger light to the right of the parking brake light) and the small one is for a mid-PTO, I believe. The 540 and 600 lights are directly to the left of the mid-PTO light. If you squint, you can just make them out on the panel even without being lighted. It's too bad we don't have a "press-to-test" button to light up all the lamps in the dash panel.

EDIT: Scan of my Op Man'l page for the dash. My manual is dated 1999.

Oh yes...unit#0B13D = Manufactured on Feb. 13, 2000 on the Day shift.

I just talked to the original dealer. They sold it new in 2002. They still had records on it.

It is older than I thought. Shoulda researched more before buying. Oh well, we still really like it, and it has really low hours.

So, now I wonder, should I just use the 2003 manual, or is it worth it to get an earlier manual?

Also, would that make it a plain TC40D, or is it really a TC40DA? It has Supersteer, tilt/telescope steering wheel, full adjustable deluxe seat, telescoping 3pt arms.

It is a "plain" TC40D. All the "DA" models have a different hood and ugly headlights. If your hood has a vent on top and normal (tasteful) headlights, then it is a "D" model.

I know I'm probably not making too many friends with my headlight comments, but normally I'm a nice fellow and PC and such. I just can't do that for those ugly headlights.

 

[RobertN]

Well, I like the plain hood and lights. Besides, the lights are LOTS better than the 10w jobbers on my old Kubota My mini-Maglite with weak batteries is brighter than those headlights

So from your expierience, think I should get the earlier manual?
