I have checked that as well.. thank you

I could be wrong, but I don't think faulty glow plugs would prevent it from starting, unless it's really cold.

Have you checked each injector line, at the injector, while cranking? You should have spurts of fuel when it cranks.

I'm interested to see what you figure out.

There should be a key position just prior to cranking where the glow plugs are automatically energized. A light on the panel indicates power is applied to the glow plugs. In cool weather hold it there for a few seconds to build some heat before you start cranking. It should start quickly.

A followup...
1) I took out the glow plugs(they all tested at 1.3 ohms) == they are good.
2) I then connected them to the bar and twisted the key so that the glow plug light was on.

They did not get warm at all.. so it may be a wiring issue. I could have sworn that I tested that connection earlier but it may have gotten fragile(like that leg lamp in the window at christmas).

Next step is to check that.

It sounds like the ignition switch is doing its job, but somewhere between the indicator light and the glo plug buss there is a fault.

I'll be working over the next few days.. if I can figure it out I will respond with what it is.. otherwise to the dealer it goes :-(

Did you try starting fluid, to verify that it want's to run?

I’d check the rear filter

NOOOOO! No ether on any Kubota!

Good to know, but, I was asking the OP.

True but now I'm wonder if it was filled with gas. Could be very hard to start with gas instead of diesel.
I will say ether help me troubleshoot the stop solenoid full of water....

Almost a sure thing to bend a rod using ether on a Kubota engine.
