Just bought a new LK 3054 and I gotta tell you I just love it. Best investment I ever made and every bit as good as a Kubota if not better.
I am heartbroken though as it failed to start on me after I got done mowing the lawn today. Starter has been sounding a bit "off" lately. I have a full charge on the battery, the fusible link is good and I have voltage up to the starter solenoid. If I try to jump the two terminals on the solenoid, nothing happens. To me, this kind of sounds like a bad starter. I only have about 20 hours on the machine. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifBut it won't start with 20 hours on it? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif My Kubotas never failed to start.

Sorry, couldn't resist. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif But, yes, it sounds like a bad starter is a good liklihood.

thanx for the feedback, Bird....(i think the tractor may have been sabotaged by a Kubota mechanic before it left S. Korea.....After all, they realize that Kioti is giving them a run for their money.) Let you know on the final fix

did you check the things like the interlock switches on the clutch. there may also be one on the seat but I do know the clutch has to be all the way down to start mine.

Try jump starting it. Could be a shorted battery.bcs
