Kubota g1800 Problem page

[Kufisha]

I just picked up a 1998 kubota g1800 diesel hydro-static mower. It starts and runs fine but it needs some work before it can be put to weekly use. I`ve listed the topics below, any help is much appreciated.

-Glowplug and glow plug light do not come on, I jump the glow-plugs to get it started.
-Fuel gauge not working, the temp seems okay but the fuel gauge does not come on, when I ground it it still doesn't move no wire faults.
-I need a manual or wiring diagram if anyone knows Where I can get one that will help alot.

The main problem I have is the glowplug, it came on once while I was starting.

Any more details just ask!
Cheers :drink:

I have a 1993 G1800 that's a great little machine except for:

Glow plug lights went south years ago. The glow pugs must work because it start in -20c weather;

The fuel shut off solenoid also departed on me for parts unknown. I installed a manual pull shut of and I've been truckin ever since;

I removed the rubber mats on either side of the seat as salt and water were catching there and badly corroding the cab. I bought aluminium anti skid place, cut it to fit and replaced the rubber mats with the anti-skid plate.

I've maintained the heck of the machine (IE: changing oil and filters aggressively, lubricating every 10 hours etc) and it's still keeps on ticking. Enjoy your G1800, it's a nice piece of kit.
