B2920 won't start!

Check the battery and make sure it is good and then it sounds like a go through of all the safety switches, fuses and relays making sure they make proper contact. Use a dielectric grease on all electrical contact points. Oiling and greasing the mechanical portions of the switches may also help.

Would never even thought to look at the fuses, because of getting the clicking sound when trying to start. But tomorrow morning I will for sure take a look at the fuses. thanks

Didn't realize you had clicking. Are you getting a single click or constant clicking like your starters trying to engage. How old is your tractor?

The reason I'm asking is that on some kubotas eventually for whatever reason the starter ain't getting enough voltage ,your dealer sells a kit which boosts the voltage to your starte. It is easy to wire and is an instant cure.

If it is a series of clicking you need to clean your battery connections at the battery and at the starter,check the positive and the negative both, the battery needs to be charged and load tested, be sure and check ground wire where it is attached, remove it and clean it then firmly re- attach
If it is a single click it is most likely the starter solenoid
If all is good then go with kit mentioned for extra power to starter because of power loss through safety switches

Mine did this over the winter and it was the safety switch under the tractor. Get under it and look at the forward and reverse pedal, there is a rod that moves the same direction no matter which way you push pedal. If it is not completely releasing the safety switch when it is in the neutral position it will kill the engine when you get off the seat and if not released will not start back up, it acts like a second safety kill switch. I to was jiggling my pedal and it would start but it didn't take long and that stopped working, a jumper under the seat did not cure it. Its adjustable and it only took a couple minutes and mine was back in business. Look right at where the filter spins onto the tractor on that side of the tractor.

The clicking is constant as long as you turn to key to start. The tractor is a 2008 model with only about 100 hours.

Thanks, I will go to the dealer tomorrow and buy the kit. I have checked fuses, controls, safeguards, terminals, and was thinking it might me the battery itself, but have no way to check the battery myself. The battery is showing a green spot on top which is saying it is OK, but I have seen this on other batteries to be wrong. :thumbsup:

I'll tell you a way to check,put a set of jumper cables from your truck or car onto your tractor battery and see if your tractor starts, this should give you the extra boost you need and see if it starts.
